I don't think you're going to find a more authoritative source for the acquisition attempt than Jeremy Allaire and Adam Berrey. The other information is accurate as well, as I remember it. I tried out dbWeb, and it wasn't as good as CF 1.5. Microsoft did acquire Aspect, released DBWeb, then dumped it for ASP 1.0 (I don't know anything about the ASP 1.0 codebase coming from i-Whatever). Oddly enough, there's still dbWeb documentation on the MS support site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/155412 Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:346978 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
