Charlie, It was a completely new machine which I was having to install CF on and figured if I was doing a new install that I'd like to install 8 and take some time to get acquainted with the new features. I'm discouraged by the fact that the first app that I tried to run on using 8 threw an error message though and am now apprehensive about trying to develop in 8 for a box that runs 7.
I was really wanting to check out the new CFGRID format="html" though as opposed to the Flash version that I've been using. Thanks for the input though. Looks like I'm going to have to install 7 on the new machine just so I can do maintenance on existing apps if there are discrepancies like this. I was really hoping that 8 would be backwards compatible with all of my 7 applications.
