HI abigail, i'm not sure, but i think you have this backwards. isapi_rewrite takes the incoming url & converts it to a physical url _before_ iis/cf/php etc gets ahold of it. my guess is that you really want to convert: http://127.0.0.1/imp/www/889
(note the lack of a ".cfm" which is not needed when doing this config) to: http://127.0.0.1/imp/www/index.cfm?id=889 the easiest way to do this is to simply anchor to the back of the string using the $ and look for numeric values using [0-9]+ so the regex would simply look like this: /([0-9]*)$/ then in the parsed output you would just do something like this: index.cfm?id=\1 all of your output code will just need to have the urls formatted to use the new 'clean' system. Hope this helps! -Chris Hi Chris, Thanks for your input, the 2 examples Peter gave actually worked, just out of interest I'll try your example and see what I get.
