RE: whitespace
I had a similar problem, so I used the CFSCRIPT tag and this reduced page size by as much as 25%, unfortunatly you can't use querys or custom tags in a CFScript block so there are limitations and Debuging can be a hand full. I would suggest writting the page normally in CF then converting as much as possible into a CFScript tag. HTH. Jason Lees National Express Systems Department.

This happens when client(outlook) is reading the data which is in output tags and trying to write into the text(log) file. Do we have anything by which we can remove/trim the white space before it goes to text file. Because the problem here is with the white space the size of the file is getting increased like anything. I know about cfsetting enablecfoutputonly=yes tag. but i want something powerful than that. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks nagesh ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Saving document format

RE: CF with Advantage Database Server ? Anyone?
Coming from a Clipper and FoxPro background, I bought and installed Advantage Database Server but never got around to getting it setup with Cold Fusion (client decided to go with SQL Server). But, talking with the folks at Extended Systems (vendor for Advantage Database Server), they assured me that it will work via their ODBC driver. However, since the ODBC driver is not in the CF Admin ODBC picklist, you will probably have to configure it like I did with MySQL and its ODBC driver.

RE: Unix Trouble
This is *exactly* why you never run as root unless you absolutely have to (even then you can often get away w/ running only the current command as root using su). First suggestion is restoring from your daily backup. You *do* have a daily backup don't you? :) As far as recovery goes, assuming that the OpenBoot security level is not set to full you should be able to quickly recover with the help of the Solaris CD. Basically it will consist of booting off the CD, mounting the partition that normally contains /etc (and the partion where you think it went), and restoring it to it's proper location. For more exact details on how to do the boot and mount, you should be able to find some FAQ or info on one of the many Solaris sites ( http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Software/Operating_Systems/Unix/So laris/ ) or your favourite Solaris book. -Original Message- From: Erika L.
