Yes, but to gain access thru RDS in CFStudio or UltraDev you need the RDS password. I wonder how other people do it in a shared environment. I've always had my own server, so I set my own passwords. They should be able to set a different password for RDS access thru Studio and UltraDev that doe

It controls how fast the emails are dumped to the mail server. When you execute a tag, the emails are dropped into the spool folder. Then, once every 60 seconds, 100 emails are dumped to the mail server. You can decrease this to 15 seconds to speed up mail delivery (400 per minute). tom www.ba

The double content types are there for a reason: when you send a "multipart/alternative" email, the text version is seen by email readers that don't read the html versions (I don't know of any offhand, but they seem to work fine with these headers.) The HTML version is seen by Outlook Express, O

If you do the loop with CFLOOP you aren't getting an accurate timing, because you are opening and closing the tags for each iteration of the loop. Also, as the original post said, the construct is different, because there are times when you might want more than CASE statement to execute, which y

You shouldn't have to "wait and see". There is a specified amount used by SQL Server which you can find out by right-clicking on the server in the Enterprise Manager and then click the Memory tab. I think it's set to 768 megs by default as the max and 0 as the min. You can also specify a fixed a

The spool speed is identical in CF5 -- 100 emails coming out of the spool folder every 15 seconds maximum, if you change from the default of 60 seconds in the CF administrator. CF 5 will process your pages quicker, but the bottleneck is internal to CF. We do between 1,000-100,000 almost daily wi
