RE: [style] usernames
The nice thing about using an email address for the username is that you can create an automatic "forget your password" retrieval system.

Re: [style] usernames
I let people choose their own usernames, with some small restrictions, such as a minimal length and no spaces. It's easy enough to do a lookup on existing usernames to avoid duplicates and display a message if already in use. Usually, you're doing some other error checking anyway, such as validating the format of email addresses, so the extra check is simple to add. I generally also let people change their username if they have access to update their user profile online. Just don't use the username as a primary or foreign key. Always use the UserID or whatever you use as the table's primary key to identify a user.

The problem you can have with that, and especially when the userbase grows, is that it can become harder and harder for a username to be unique and increases conflict chances.

RE: Server Restarts
Is this on a development server where you are constantly changing the code? I've had a similar experience with CF development environments where they slow down over time as you are editing the pages. I haven't seen that behavior in production, but I have in development. I suspect it has to do with CF's internal pcode cache becoming fragmented over time as it's changed, but knowing nothing about CF's internal pcode and memory management, I could be totally wrong. I always keep a bat file on the development server's desktop for restarting the server. Makes it very easy to restart the server quickly when you need to. -- @ECHO ON net stop "Cold Fusion Application Server" net start "Cold Fusion Application Server" @ECHO OFF PAUSE -- Hope that helps! -Cameron - Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc. --- cell: 678-637-5072 aim: cameroncf email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -Original Message- > From: Brian Scandale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Saturday, May 25, 2002 6:03 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Server Restarts > > > Over the last several days I notice that the Server is taking > longer and longer to post the pages I am developing. > > After a ReStart everything is snappy again!! > > For example...

Then, in the FBX_Switch.cfm file for ShoppingCart, I respond to the fuseaction, "display" by ing dsp_ShoppingCart.cfm, a file that s the CartSummary recordset. It works without a hitch.

RE: cf_HTML2Excel Question
:P No, I'll fully admit that you told me how to do the replace in the COM object, but ya didn't post it here ;) For those who might need this in the future: The end answer was to call the Replace function correctly and select the Cells object propperly. objRange = objExcel.Cells; objRange.Replace(What, With); In my case I ended up saving a CHR(3) in the file, so I have objRange.Replace(CHR(3), "'"); Since the data is being manipulated within Excel itself, this causes the cell to force-format to text from that point on, which is what I needed.

The problem with trying to "walk" JS hyperlinks is that you'd have to write something to read, decode and completely understand what's going on in the JS function - say they hyperlink is built of 5 strings, then you'd have to manage that Generally, I'd say to avoid them, unless you write some rules as to what to follow - to a person's eye, the above code will be obvious, but you try telling your code how to understand that!
