Don't need a project for that.

Could use File view to open files (so you don't need a project) and I'm pretty sure HTML / XML formatting is built in (to CFBuilder). > And my 4th scenario is the rare occasion that I would need to open a file > directly off one of my staging or production servers via a > UNC file path.

I find it very interesting to hear how other developers work since we all have strong preferences regarding our workflows :) Of course, I'm on a Mac so Homesite/CFS has never been an option but I've used a lot of different editors / IDEs over the years... -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://getrailo.com/ An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret At ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:334240 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
