Most people don't upgrade right away due to that fact. Not sure what everyone expected, but CFMX is a new release of codebase and sure, there's going to be issues. Look how long it took for CF5 to smoke... ! It might be best to wait until CFMX2(?) comes out -- I haven't had any problems with it and it's smokes for me and ... that's because I've been writing code geared towards CFMX, nothing based on CF5.
Now, at work... if my boss were to tell me that we're upgrading to CFMX, I'd cough a little and cross my fingers and hope nothing breaks. Especially since the place where I work is too small to really care about QA (sad isn't it? :P and I harp on them /all/ the time about it, but QA isn't important in their eyes. Anyone looking for a 3 year CF developer?). ~Todd P.S.: This isn't a shot against anyone, this is... "perhaps staying with CF5 until the dust settles" suggestions. Not everyone needs to be bleeding edge (it's nice, but dangerous, that's why it's called bleeding). ============================================================ Todd Rafferty ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) - http://www.web-rat.com/ | Team Macromedia Volunteer for ColdFusion | http://www.macromedia.com/support/forums/team_macromedia/ | http://www.flashCFM.com/ - webRat (Moderator) | http://www.ultrashock.com/ - webRat (Back-end Moderator) | ============================================================ On Fri, 12 Jul 2002, Douglas Brown wrote: > This really is a problem with upgrading to MX.
