Re: Before I write it myself...
If you use the text file datasource that CF sets up for itself, that shouldn't be anything more than a cfquery, a loop over the results to create the email body, and a cfmail - about 25 lines of code.

Re: Defroster
Hi, yes Defroster was an application that claimed to convert Cfusion to ASP.

RE: Internationalization
> I know you're thinking about technical things, but there are > some common errors you can easily make, and a huge number of > American companies make them Great comments, Mike. As a fellow Australian, I've seen and been frustrated by many of these problems. For the user, it's not so bad where the information is being collected just for reference or marketing purposes, as the user can simply make up a fake address. For example, I maintain a second and entirely fake home in Beverley Hills - it's the only US zip code I know. It gets me what I want but doesn't help the site administrators. However, it's a different story if you're dealing with financial transactions. For billing and shipping addresses I need to enter the correct address. This is really frustrating when the product is electronic or the vendor is willing to ship overseas. All that's stopping me from ordering their product is a pesky piece of form validation! Their loss. Also, it's ok if you can't offer service to international customers, but make you sure you make it clear up front! Don't let them waste their time by finding out halfway through an ordering process. Good luck to the original poster in your internationalization efforts!

RE: Internationalization
G'day Chris, You're quite right, there was no reason whatever to require a social security number. I quoted it because it's the worst case I have ever seen. I should also say that HP fixed it soon afterwards. But it happened because whoever was working on that part of the site had not given any thought to what life is like outside the USA. Perhaps because they just picked up something out of their intranet and pasted it in or perhaps because they were so insular cosseted in their thinking they were totally ignorant about life outside. I communicate a lot with Americans in my work and my hobbies, and I'm never short of amusement at Yanks who will be surprised at how good my English is, or ask do we have Christmas here, or are amazed that it's summer here when it's winter there. I think it's because the USA is so vast, and everything else so huge that there's no need to go outside the USA for anything. (That's not a criticism. It's just an observation.) But if a company wants to spread its wings and tap into the gigantic market outside the USA (for all the huge size of the USA, the rest of the world is ten times the size or more) it has to spread its thinking too, and learn that the world is not just like a lot of smaller USAs.

Re: CF Activ Mail vs. Infusion SE Mail tag
Because iMS-SE is a mail server that is tightly integrated with ColdFusion, it can offer several features that other CFMAIL replacements can't offer including: - Real-time delivery status (you can know exactly when an email was delivered or if the delivery is deferred or if the email cannot be delivered) - Mail is sent via SMTP only once (remailer solutions, like ActivMail, send mail via SMTP to an external email server that then needs to send the mail again) - iMS-SE comes with an internal, secure SMTP relay server so you can continue using CFMAIL. Of course, you can also use the included CFX tag (which gives you many additional features) and also the included COM object which allows you to use iMS with other application servers (like ASP) and other applications like MS SQL Server. - iMS is scalable. All you need to do is add additional iMS servers or upgrade your iMS-SE product to our Professional or Enterprise offerings. - iMS offers 10 priority queues so that you can determine the delivery priority of all outgoing mail. - iMS includes a scheduler server (CFSchedule replacement). There are many, many more features that iMS has including tokenized emails (akin to a mail merge). iMS-SE 2.2 (soon-to-be released free upgrade) will also include a built-in server to process email bounces. This will allow you to track undeliverable email like no other email solution for application servers. There are many more details on our comparison page, http://www.coolfusion.com/imssecomparison.cfm You can install a 60-day fully-functional trial from www.coolfusion.com.

CF Can't insertinto SQL2K ... any ideas?
My server's using CF5 and SQL2K. I can insert into a table using the query analyser, and I can have CF query the datasource no problem. But when it goes to insert into the database, using the same SQL I used in the query analyser, it hiccups. I get a error messages as follows: [quote] ODBC Error Code = 23000 (Integrity constraint violation) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot insert the value NULL into column 'memberid', table 'btcmsa.dbo.Newsletter'; column does not allow nulls. INSERT fails. The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFQUERY), occupying document position (9:1) to (9:99). [/quote] Here's the SQL I used to set up the table: [quote] CREATE TABLE [Newsletter] ( [memberid] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [name] [varchar] (255) NULL , [email] [varchar] (255) NULL , [emailtype] [int] NULL , [messagesentwhen] [datetime] NULL , [messagesent] [bit] NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO [/quote] The field it's complaining about, "memberid" is a primary key. The SQL in the CFQUERY tag works fine in query analyser. I have tried it with and without username, password, dbtype in the CFQUERY tag. IS this the problem?? I'm thinking the problem is the SERVER doesn't have permissions to insert into the database - it needs to be set up as database owner and hasn't been. Which means I have to focus the SysAdmin's eye on it and that's not easy at Easter time. IS there anything else I should look for? Something I might have overlooked?

RE: Internationalization
I know you're thinking about technical things, but there are some common errors you can easily make, and a huge number of American companies make them (1) Not all countries have zip codes, and only a few have 5 character numeric codes. So don't REQUIRE a 5 numeral zip code. (2) Few countries use two characters to name their states/provinces, and some don't have any such divisions at all. So don't make your "state" field a drop down list consisting of only the 50 US 2character state abbreviations. (3). American 1-800 numbers don't work outside the USA. So provide a regular phone number if you're going to put a 1-800 number. (4) Only North America has phone numbers in the format (999) 999-. The rest of the world has a dazzling array of formats, and not everyone has area codes. So don't use that stupid feature in CF to format a field as a phone number field. You're locking non-Canadian and non-US customers out of that field. Not everyone has 7 character phone numbers. Some have 5, some have 10, some have numbers in between. (5) Don't use seasons to describe time. It's common for American companies to talk about something being released "next spring" for example. But not all countries have 4 seasons. In the tropics they only have two seasons (Hong Kong, South East Asia, North of Australia, Central America for example). And anyway when we see this expression here in Australia, we often think "which 'spring' is it referring to - is it ours or theirs?" "Summer" in these parts is December-March. And similarly don't use terms like 1QR or Quarter 2. The financial year in Australia begins on 1 July. IN New Zealand it beings 1. April. Different times in other countries. So does the term "beginning of 2Qtr" mean April, (i.e. beginning of the second calendar quarter) or September (beginning of second financial quarter in Australia) or June (beginning of second financial quarter in New Zealand) etc etc around the world. Don't be lazy, use the month names and everyone will know what you mean. (6) Despite the prevalence of the US Dollar, not everyone wants to deal in that currency, and anyway, it can be very expensive to convert local currency to US. (It costs AUD$15 to bank a US cheque in a Australian bank account for example ) So provide for some way for your customers to pay you in local currency. Or make it easy for them to convert. (7) Remember that when you send your data across the Atlantic, or the Pacific Oceans it might well travel 70,000 km before it arrives at the user's browser. (35,000 up to a satellite and 35,000 down again) So don't put huge files in your site - big graphics etc - just because it runs fast in your home town, doesn't mean it's going to run fast half a world away. Will your prospective customers in Europe and Asia wait to download that fancy flash page that you love but which does nothing at all for the customer? (8) I once tried to download some software from a major international company (who will remain nameless but recently announced a merger with Compaq) where the registration form had a compulsory field that required a social security number for pete's sake. The product was a printer driver - not a US specific piece of software, but for general release around the world. The moron who designed that page hadn't thought for a moment that there might just be people in the world who didn't have US social security numbers. (Like for example ALL of the non-US residents!!) I had to make up a social security number, and tinker around with numbers until I invented one the form liked. I also had to invent an address because it had a 5 character compulsory zip code so I just took an address from a company's ad in a magazine. And this is without even touching the idea of language choices. It's common in Europe and Asia for sites to be built in several languages and you choose on the home page which language you want to see. This is costly and duplicates effort to translate your site into other languages, but how many other customers will you get if you do the translation? These are just some random thoughts. I know you were thinking about CF's Locale setting and similar matters, but perhaps these more general thoughts might help you too.
