CFSTAT on NT
Guys, Is it possible to get CFSTAT to output to a file? I have tried: cfstat -n 1 cfstat.txt and it creates and empty text file. Any Ideas? Can you send any replies to me directly and to the list as i'm on the digest.

OT - Access Count() question
I'm implementing Joe Celko's nested set functionality to store an employee tree...the wrinkle is that I have several trees (representing different companies) stored in the same table...with a companyID identifier. Everything works great except for the count(*) included with each rowit's not coming up the way it should, and I'm not even sure exactly how it's messing up - some people who are on level 1 are listed at level 7, some at level 2, etc. I can't figure the pattern. (Here's my query) cfquery datasource=#dsn# name=get select child.userID, child.username, count(*) as thislevel, child.leftno, child.rightno from salesroles as parent, salesroles as child where child.companyID = #companyID# and child.leftno between parent.leftno and parent.rightno group by child.leftno, child.userID, child.username, child.rightno /cfquery (DB is currently in Access, but will move to SQL 2000 within a week - assuming I get it to work - so any wrinkles that differ between them would also be a great help.) I'm lostany help would be greatly appreciated!

RE: Comparing value against a list of values
Let me get this right... You want to do a SQL list contains function on a field with a comma delimited list of values (csvList)? You want to return all the records that contain the value 1 (not 100 or 11) in a field (csvList) that contains comma delimited lists? Correct? I don't think that can be done in simple SQL. Maybe with a bit of SQL Magic. If anyone knows how to do this I would be very very interested! As a work around you could break your csvList field off to a relational table. Each value in the comma delimited list would get its own record with an id of the parent record. Mark W.

Re: Verity SQL

Re:RE: Verity SQL
Hmmm... I don't know - because I have been able to do just what you are describing. My first suspicion is whether you are accidentally refreshing a different collection than that which you are searching? (Don't get me wrong - this is just what I did last week and spent all day mystified by it) The other two things I am thinking are did you just add data to existing columns or did you perhaps create a new column and then not tell CFINDEX about it or what to do with it? And then the third thought is are you joining tables? - because there was something in the book about indexing data from two tables which have a master-servant relationship (I know the word is not servant - just can't remember) -J Reply Separator Subject:RE: Verity SQL Author: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 6/13/01 6:03 PM Hi Jason, Thanks for the help. This is a great solution - which I've already tried (also from pg 733 :-) ... but to no avail. Basically, I've inherited a database from an existing site and when I index the data everything works fine. Then when I add new records and re-index, they are not included. The query that I use to get the data I want to index has been tried in SQL query analyzer, and the new records show up - so they *should* be included in the indexing. I've tried absolutely everything - but nothing seems to work. So now I'm trying to combine my standard SQL query with another Verity query, without having to create a Verity collection from the database query.

RE: Comparing value against a list of values
Dylan,
Thanks for this suggestion. This doesn't do what is needed though I don't
think. My trouble is I am comparing one list of values against another list
of values. Take the following situation:
1. The string I want to compare against is this: 1,3,5
2. The field (FLD) I am comparing it against contains this value: 2,4,10
If I use IN, it would look like this:
WHERE '2,4,10' IN('1,3,5')
What I _WANT_ to do is this (in layman's terms):
get all records where (1 = 2 or 1 = 4 or 1 = 10) OR (3 = 2 or 3 = 4 or 3 =
10) OR (5 = 2 or 5 = 4 or 5 = 10)
I'm comparing discrete values in the comparison list against discrete values
in the the field value list. Only if one of the discrete values matches do I
want to the record.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Thanks for ideas!

Hi, I am in search of a WYSIWYG editor that will allow a user to enter a news article and have it display in HTML format. I have looked at several different ones but am looking for some feedback as to what is most preferred, affordable (free), and easy for the user. I have looked at EasyEdit http://www.siteobjects.com/examples/ezedit_scratchpad.cfm I really liked the interface on this one but it has to work with IE 4.0 and unfortunately this CF tag needs at least IE 5.0.

What is January in French? German? CF knows it already
I was having a conversation with Ben Forta about the UDF library project and
he suggested I add a function that would print the locale version of a
month. For example, the French (Standard) version of January. Well, I pinged
him back and said that as far as I know, I'd have to manually enter the
strings.
It turns out CF does this for you.
Check out the following example:
CFSCRIPT
function LSMonthAsString(month_number)
{
VAR d=CreateDate(2000, month_number, 1);
return LSDateFormat(d, );
}
/CFSCRIPT
CFLOOP LIST=#Server.Coldfusion.SupportedLocales# INDEX=locale
DELIMITERS=,
CFSET SetLocale(locale)
CFOUTPUT#locale#BR/CFOUTPUT
CFLOOP INDEX=X FROM=1 TO=12
CFOUTPUT#LSMonthAsString(X)#BR/CFOUTPUT
/CFLOOP
P
/CFLOOP
This will loop through all the supported locales and return the name of each
month. Maybe this is something everyone knew about it but it sure surprised
the heck out of me. I knew CF had good locale functionality, but this rocks.
Anyway, thanks go to Ben Forta for the idea. I'm going to be modifying this
UDF and using it at www.cflib.org.

the form fields are getting passed. I have tried using the trim() function
in the update query, as well creating a hidden form field with the same
field name and a value of 0. On the update page I have a script that
checks if the value is 0, and if it is it sets the value to -1 (This was
my interpretation of a 'solution' to this problem posted on a thread at
Allaire.com, but I don't understand how it is supposed to work).
script language=JavaScript
if (new_newsletter.nlt_filename.value.length == 0){
new_newsletter.nlt_filename.value = '-1';
}
/script
Can anyone please help me and my comrads solve this problem?

RE: Compacting .cfm files
While I agree with other posters on this thread that redesigning your form might be your best bet, there is some hope in the compression department... I worked up a tag a while ago that will GZIP page content and send it to the browser. The tag detects all browsers that are able to handle the GZIP encoded content and compresses for those browsers while sending uncompressed content to browsers than can't handle GZIP. I'm sure you'll find info on the tag if you search the list archives. There was a bit of lively discussion on-list as it was developed, and I drew from ideas of some folks who posted. (I tried to give credit where due in the tag, but if anyone thinks I blatently ripped off your idea, I'd be happy to ammend the credits. Just lemme know! ;-) I just submitted the tag (CF_GZipPage) to the Tag Gallery, and it should appear in a day or so.

I guess that there is some type of resource crunch (memory, widget handles, who knows) that causes the following error: when scrolling a large form, the select boxes begin to smear vertically. They become clumped together and function oddly (some still seem to work, although I can't tell what 'line' they belong to).

I've already added cfsetting tags to squash output on custom tags, queries, etc. But there is still a lot of whitespace in the other 'normal' code.

RE: Security in a multiple server environment
(b) The hosting company has a fetish for security and has closed off CFRegistry, CFFile, CFDirectory etc, so I can't imagine they'll let me use the registry for storing client variables. (I've asked but not had a reply yet) I'd hope they'd say no - you don't want to store variables there in any case. Therefore I'll need to be storing client variables in the SQLServer7 database - should I use the central datasource for it or my own datasource? Are there issues here I need to take into account? Not really. It doesn't make any difference that I've noticed. I prefer to have separate databases for application data, but there's nothing to stop you from using one database for both application data and client variables. ( c ) aside from these issues, if I just change all my session. scope variables to client scope, is that going to take care of most of the issues involved in keeping security and tracking users round the site? Or are there other matters I need to take into account now too? If you're storing lots of data in the session scope, you might run into problems when you use the client scope instead, because that means more traffic between the app server and the database server. If you're storing any complex objects, for example, you might think that you could simply convert them to WDDX, then store that in the client scope - and you can do that, but it may very well drag your performance down to an intolerable level.

RE: Comparing value against a list of values
OK
To simplify things let's say the search variable is named LookingFor
and contains a single value (10)
the rccords in the db contain:
#SearchField
--- ---
1 1,2,3,4,9,100
2 210,310,410
3 10,11,12
4 8,9,10
So, the query is:
... WHERE
SearchField ='10' -- Match Only Element of field
OR SearchField LIKE '10,%' -- Match Beginning Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,10,%' -- Match Middle Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,10' -- Match Last Element of Field
OK, If that works, then if CF you must build a similar set of 4 tests
for each list element in the LookingFor variable, by looping over it
as a list:
If yoy have a value in LookingFor of (1,10,100), cour CF-generated
statement would look like this:
... WHERE
SearchField ='0' -- Match Only Element of field
OR SearchField LIKE '1,%' -- Match Beginning Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,1,%, -- Match Middle Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,1' -- Match Last Element of Field
OR SearchField ='10'-- Match Only Element of field
OR SearchField LIKE '10,%' -- Match Beginning Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,10,%'-- Match Middle Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,10' -- Match Last Element of Field
OR SearchField ='100' -- Match Only Element of field
OR SearchField LIKE '100,%' -- Match Beginning Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,100,%' -- Match Middle Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,100' -- Match Last Element of Field
Now, all this garbage is the penalty you pay, again and again, for
not having a normalized db... SearchField is not atomic.
What I would suggest is that you add another child table to contain 1
record for each SearchField element.
The search will be simple and fast (done entirely in the indexes).
You can keep the composite field around if needed for other purposed
(denormalized fields are acceptable if you use them as information
fields don't need to search on them...
This would would be a similar, practical, denormalization as carring
the total in the order record, rather than computing the sum of all
the line items.

2. The field (FLD) I am comparing it against contains this value: 2,4,10
If I use IN, it would look like this:
WHERE '2,4,10' IN('1,3,5')
What I _WANT_ to do is this (in layman's terms):
get all records where (1 = 2 or 1 = 4 or 1 = 10) OR (3 = 2 or 3 = 4 or 3 =
10) OR (5 = 2 or 5 = 4 or 5 = 10)
I'm comparing discrete values in the comparison list against discrete values
in the the field value list. Only if one of the discrete values matches do I
want to the record.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Subject: SQL: Comparing value against a list of values
I have a table with a field that contains a comma delimited list
of values,
such as:
10,11,21,100
In doing a cfquery against the table, I want to select records where one
or more of the values in this list of values matches a value in the WHERE
clause of my sql query. For example:
select *
from tbl
where csvList = '%1%'
The problem is that the above select statement will select ANY record that
has '1' in the field no matter what the true values in the field are

RE: Sending MP3's Through CF
Hmmm. Interesting. Didn't really consider that. How severe of a resource hit is it? Is CF working throughout the streaming of the song? Or just the beginning? Regardless, while it may take up threads, how severe of a CPU hit is it? It's not like CF is doing heavy computations. It's just passing along a file with a particular header. It's not really taking any amount of CPU. It's just that when your CF Server runs out of worker threads, it stops dead. The usual rule of thumb is no more than 8 worker threads per processor. So even if you've got a dual P-III Zeon 900MHz monster of a server, when user number 17 makes his request, he'll sit queued up waiting until one of the 16 worker threads is freed up. The CPUs would probably be idling at less than 5% at that point, but CF wouldn't be able to do any more work. Now... That scenario only applies if you're feeding the actual MP3 stream itself through CF. If you only feed the meta file, then you'd be okay. Winamp or whatever would just retrieve the meta file, disconnect from your CF Server, and *then* start getting the MP3 streams. Under that scenario, assuming your MP3 streams were coming from outside the CF Server somewhere, you could support thousands of users with no problems. As soon as you start involving CF for the actual streams, then you're in trouble. Thus, using ShoutCAST for the MP3 streams would be a GoodThing(tm)! ;-) If the CF Server in question is owned admin'd by you, you can certainly up the number of worker threads beyond 8 per processor, but I have no idea what kind of side effects you might see. In any case, the number of worker threads is the maximum number of users you could support. However... Let's say you set the number of threads to 100. If you've got 100 people listening to music, then nobody else could even view your web pages (assuming you use CF for them) since all the threads would be taken by MP3 streams. If you absolutely need to do this over an HTTP interface, then ASP might be a better option for you, tho you'd probably need Soft Artisans's SAFileUp COM component to access the binary files from the server's hard disk. ASP, at least, doesn't have a hard thread limit -- the ASP engine will spawn more threads as needed until all requests are handled *or* until the server is overloaded. In any case, neither ASP nor CF was intended to stream large files like this, and I can't imagine you could get them to do it reliably on anything but the smallest of scales. ShoutCAST servers can be had for nothing, and I thing they'd be a better solution. Failing that, I *think* Microsoft Media Services can be made to stream MP3's, so there's another option. I hope at least some of that is helpful. Feel free to pick my brain further. Best regards, Zac Bedell ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Comparing value against a list of values
Just read my post... lotsa tipos, er, ah typos...
Here's a better one
OK
To simplify things let's say the search variable is named LookingFor
and contains a single value (10)
the rccords in the db contain:
#SearchField
--- ---
1 1,2,3,4,9,100
2 210,310,410
3 10,11,12
4 8,9,10
5 10
6 2,10,200
Records 3, 4, 5, and 6 are matches
So, the query is:
... WHERE
SearchField ='10' -- Match Only Element of field
OR SearchField LIKE '10,%' -- Match Beginning Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,10,%' -- Match Middle Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,10' -- Match Last Element of Field
OK, If that works, then in CF you must build a similar set of 4 tests
for each list element in the LookingFor variable, by looping over it
as a list:
If you have a value in LookingFor of (1,10,100), your CF-generated
statement would look like this:
... WHERE
SearchField ='1' -- Match Only Element of field
OR SearchField LIKE '1,%' -- Match Beginning Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,1,%, -- Match Middle Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,1' -- Match Last Element of Field
OR SearchField ='10'-- Match Only Element of field
OR SearchField LIKE '10,%' -- Match Beginning Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,10,%'-- Match Middle Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,10' -- Match Last Element of Field
OR SearchField ='100' -- Match Only Element of field
OR SearchField LIKE '100,%' -- Match Beginning Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,100,%' -- Match Middle Element of Field
OR SearchField LIKE '%,100' -- Match Last Element of Field
Now, all this garbage is the penalty you pay, again and again, for
not having a normalized db... SearchField is not atomic.
What I would suggest is that you add another child table to contain 1
record for each SearchField element.
The search will be simple and fast (done entirely in the indexes).
You can keep the composite field around if needed for other
purposes(denormalized fields are acceptable if you use them as
information fields don't need to search on them...
This would would be a similar, practical, denormalization as carrying
the total in the order record, rather than computing the sum of all
the line items.

RE: Comparing value against a list of values
My understanding of your database (which might be wrong) is that you have unique records, each of which has a column with a comma-delimited list of numerals in it. The length of each list varies. The simplest solution is to create the small table I suggested: MainTableID ListElement 1 29 1 40 1 3141 2 80 2 121 3 35 3 99 3 1024 etc. You can populate this table using a ColdFusion query that gets the ID and IDList from each row, with a outer loop over the Query, and an inner loop over the List, with a CFQUERY inside inserting the current value of MainTableID ListElement into the table.

RE: SQL VS ACCESS
Great, but what happens when you wish to change the name of a field in a lookup table? Do you run update statements on EVERY foreign key field? Wouldn't it be easier to just change a value in the database? Further, requesting that user's supply indeces isn't the best way to work; user's have a tendancy to want to change the value of their indices from time to time. For example, If I have table a: CustomerID int AccountingIDchar CompanyName char And I want to change the accounting ID (for whatever reason), I'd be okay. However, if I were to omit the customerID field and stick with the Accounting ID Field, the change would be acceptable. Further, joins on integer fields work much faster than joins on character fields. The database has that much less to work with matching up. You are right though, autonumber fields can be a real pain. What you should usually do in a migration from access to sql server is first go into all of your tables, turn off autonumber, and leave the field as an integer field, when you upsize, go back in and revert to autonumber. -Original Message- From: Mark Warrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2001 11:27 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: SQL VS ACCESS I've learned to avoid using autonumber fields whenever possible.

Then you need to make a kind of on-the-fly collection out of a normal db query and call it Dbquery So on the search page, here is your Dbquery: !--Retrieve data from Db for onthefly collection-- cfquery name=GetSomeData datasource=YourDatasource SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4 FROM SomeTable /cfquery !-- Now convert this data into a collectionto be queried with GetResults next page-- CFINDEX ACTION=refresh COLLECTION=OntheFlyCollection KEY=Field1 URL=Field2 TYPE=custom TITLE=Field3 BODY=Field4 QUERY=GetSomeData Then on the search results page, cfsearch name = GetResults collection = SomeCollection, OntheFlyCollection criteria = #Form.Criteria# And that's it. Two things to note, you actually have to create a collection called OntheFlyCollection first, so that you can be refreshing it here on the search page. Also, notice that in the CFINDEX you are telling Verity which fields should be considered what Verity values, so Field2 is your URL for instance - kind of limiting, but don't forget you can make two custom tags!

Subject: What is January in French? German? CF knows it already
I was having a conversation with Ben Forta about the UDF library project and
he suggested I add a function that would print the locale version of a
month. For example, the French (Standard) version of January. Well, I pinged
him back and said that as far as I know, I'd have to manually enter the
strings.
It turns out CF does this for you.
Check out the following example:
CFSCRIPT
function LSMonthAsString(month_number)
{
VAR d=CreateDate(2000, month_number, 1);
return LSDateFormat(d, );
}
/CFSCRIPT
CFLOOP LIST=#Server.Coldfusion.SupportedLocales# INDEX=locale
DELIMITERS=,
CFSET SetLocale(locale)
CFOUTPUT#locale#BR/CFOUTPUT
CFLOOP INDEX=X FROM=1 TO=12
CFOUTPUT#LSMonthAsString(X)#BR/CFOUTPUT
/CFLOOP
P
/CFLOOP
This will loop through all the supported locales and return the name of each
month. Maybe this is something everyone knew about it but it sure surprised
the heck out of me. I knew CF had good locale functionality, but this rocks.
Anyway, thanks go to Ben Forta for the idea. I'm going to be modifying this
UDF and using it at www.cflib.org.

RE: SQL VS ACCESS
Costas,
Your point is well taken, but I never meant to imply that I would allow a
primary key field to be anything other than a number (INT).
The name of the primary key field doesn't matter, however I typically do
what you do and prefix (or suffix) the primary key field name with ID.
I setup one table in the database called KEYS. (Very simple: ID_KEY (INT)
USED_DATETIME (date/time). Whenever I need a unique key, I call the
following template:
!-- begin act_global_get_key.cfm --
!--- this template generates a unique key which can be used in any table in
the database ---
cfsetting enablecfoutputonly=yes
cftransaction
cfquery name=max datasource=#session.dsn#
SELECT max (ID_KEY) as maxid
FROM KEYS
/cfquery
cfset ID_KEY = max.maxid+1
cfquery name=insert_key datasource=#session.dsn#
INSERT INTO KEYS (ID_KEY, USED_DATETIME) VALUES (#id_key#,
#CreateODBCDateTime(Now())#)
/cfquery
/cftransaction
cfsetting enablecfoutputonly=no
!-- end act_global_get_key.cfm --
If I was using Oracle as the DB, I would call a stored procedure to have the
DB create a unique key for me.
One of the benefits of this is that all numbers used for primary keys in all
tables are unique. So you never have to worry about the scope (persay -
that's not the right term for that) of the number because you know it could
have only come from one of the tables in the system.
The issue about joins is true as well. I'll RARELY join text fields.
Your point about upsizing as an INT field and then changing it back to an
INT PK SEED {n} field is also absolutely valid - if the database supports
autonumbering. Last I checked, Oracle does not support autonumber fields.
(I could be wrong about that.)

However, if I were to omit the customerID field and stick with the

Further, joins on integer fields work much faster than joins on character

You are right though, autonumber fields can be a real pain. What
you should
usually do in a migration from access to sql server is first go

Re: Comparing value against a list of values
Paul, Question? Is this list a list if your identity field numbers? If that is the case read on otherwise LMK. Jeff Craig I had the same situation with about 200,000 record table. Of course the first identity number was 1 thru something like 400,000(after deletions):o)) The query was something like: select * from theTable where tableID in(select tableID from theTable where field like 'blah') If the tableid list in the in() statement happened to contain 1. One just happens to be contained in a lot of bigger numbers. My solution for that was to drop the tableid field. Reset the tableid field in SQL 7 with a seed value of 100. It gets a little tricker when you have a bunch of relational tables that are dependent on this identity. I had to go to all the related tables and add 100 to the tableid field in the related tables. ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: SQL VS ACCESS
Concerning Oracle (and I don't have a lot of experience) you can set up
autincrementing fields I don't remember the details because it has been
about a year but select from dual or something similiar will get the next

Invalid parser construct found on line 10 at position 10. ColdFusion was
looking at the following text:
LSMonthAsString
Invalid expression format. The usual cause is an error in the expression
structure.
The last successfully parsed CFML construct was a CFSCRIPT tag occupying
document position (9:1) to (9:10).

Subject: What is January in French? German? CF knows it already
I was having a conversation with Ben Forta about the UDF library project and
he suggested I add a function that would print the locale version of a
month. For example, the French (Standard) version of January. Well, I pinged
him back and said that as far as I know, I'd have to manually enter the
strings.
It turns out CF does this for you.
Check out the following example:
CFSCRIPT
function LSMonthAsString(month_number)
{
VAR d=CreateDate(2000, month_number, 1);
return LSDateFormat(d, );
}
/CFSCRIPT
CFLOOP LIST=#Server.Coldfusion.SupportedLocales# INDEX=locale
DELIMITERS=,
CFSET SetLocale(locale)
CFOUTPUT#locale#BR/CFOUTPUT
CFLOOP INDEX=X FROM=1 TO=12
CFOUTPUT#LSMonthAsString(X)#BR/CFOUTPUT
/CFLOOP
P
/CFLOOP
This will loop through all the supported locales and return the name of each
month. Maybe this is something everyone knew about it but it sure surprised
the heck out of me. I knew CF had good locale functionality, but this rocks.
Anyway, thanks go to Ben Forta for the idea. I'm going to be modifying this
UDF and using it at www.cflib.org.

RE: WYSIWYG editors
Josh, We have never charged anything for ezEdit, other than custom integration contracts. You must be confused. Being the developer and sole supporter of this product, I don't recall ever being contacted by you. If you did indeed purchase our ezEdit product (http://www.siteobjects.com/examples/ezedit_scratchpad.cfm) I would like to know where you purchased it from. We strictly prohibit the resale of this this component in our license, and this would make me quite upset. You are though, correct in the fact that we are not supporting this product(ezEdit) anymore, I only have a finite amount of time and I am very busy working on version 2.0 (soEditor currently in beta). Please understand, this is a free product, and support really takes up a lot of time. soEditor is a much more solid product and our next beta release will really bring things together. I am happily accepting enhancement requests as well as taking care of any bug fixes in soEditor. So feel free to join the team. Information, downloads _support_ can be had here: http://forums.siteobjects.com On another note, if anyone is doing any SOAP/Webservice work, I would like to hear from you. I have some tags that I am finishing up that facilitates this, (much like soXML is for XML) and I need some informed testers, before I release it publicly.

RE: WYSIWYG editors
i think it just shows a textarea field - rather than a wysiwyg editor field. if you wanted to get into the code, I imagine you could swap something else for that case.

Re: CF 4.5 on Win2K SBS ISA

If the problem occurs in all of your pages (i.e - each page terminates the cookie) there must be something wrong with your application.cfm file. try deleting all rows in it (and I mean each row)! your problem maybe lie between a custom tag or code block. It's not the code... it's something to do with the firewall or proxy, or maybe CF. It's happening on old applications that were working on the old NT4 server, and have not been touched for months. K. Hi all, Our internal network was recently rebuilt with Win2k Small Business Server 2000. It seems that ISA is trashing cookies, with code that was previously working. I have a page that sets some client vars. In the Application.cfm cookies are set to on and storage to the database, which is set up and actually working fine. The client vars are visible on the page on which they are set, but when you move to another page they are undefined. There are no cflocations or other cookie crunching munsters... as I said, the code was working perfectly before the rebuild. Does anyone have any clues as to what this may be? A setting somewhere within CF or ISA? Our network admin (also the MD, LOL) has no clue what it could be, and the book is on order. But I need it running tomorrow to show a client!
