Donnie, if you have CF8 or higher, you might find TrafficMunkey does the trick. My company is releasing this as a free download today. It's a framework that allows you to use real URLs while still retaining all of the benefits of a framework, like site templates and exit actions.
For your issue in particular, you would use regular, old folders. Setup a folder for each product, the webserver will serve up the index.cfm file in each folder. TrafficMunkey intercepts this request, and then lets you configure any page in your site to field that request, regardless of whether it exists in that folder or not. It's what I do for the link below. There are a few peculiarities based on Web server, e.g. Apache just serves up the page but IIS needs an actual empty folder so that the folder can be configured to allow Directory Browsing, but once you know this, it works pretty smoothly. http://www.millionmunkeys.net/TrafficMunkey/ Pete Oliver-Krueger http://www.millionmunkeys.net/ "Ideas for building software.
