Re: Slightly OT
Actually, Nick wrote the first version of Homesite in Delphi quite sometime "before" CFStudio was written to maintain his web-based comic strip. Homesite was our editor of choice back in the days when we used Delphi/WebHub and were waiting on CF to mature--for the trivia buffs out there. WYSIWYG is highly overrated. However, I would probably go with Dreamweaver because of it's integration with CF if I just had to choose a "close to WYSIWIG" editor. p.s.

Re: CF Admin Error
It means that your app is looking to store variables in a database versus the registry. Check the datasource you're trying to connect to in the CF Administrator and ascertain whether or not it is set to collect variables in a database. The two tables CF uses for this are CGLOBAL and CDATA. Also, check Application.cfm and make sure the CFAPPLICATION tag matches the CF Administrator's settings if applicable. Good luck.

Re: LINK tag in Application.cfm

RE: RE: Unable To insert Proper Date
Agreed, Don, and Marco. However, ODBC date/times aren't that hard to work
with once you get used to their usage. Manipulating the date/time as
anything but a date/time is a pain... Both Access and CF have good date/time
features built in. And once you use them enough they become second nature.
In Access, use the date/time date type for the field. From your code just
INSERT or UPDATE using either #CreateODBCDate(some_date [Now()])#, or
#CreateODBCDateTime(some_date [Now()])#. Alternatively, look into
#CreateTimeSpan()# to format mask your own time spans, etc.
Oh yeah, and RTFM on both products--online Help is also good in both
products... ;). I'm not meaning to be facetious by saying that either. It's
just that you'll never learn this stuff until you read and understand it in
your own way, practice it according to your personal needs, and let it
become second nature to the way you code.
Good luck!

RE: RE: Unable To insert Proper Date
The following should work for both Access and SQL Server. Since Now() is already in ODBC format, inserting it is dead simple: CFQUERY NAME="qryInsertDateTime" DATASOURCE="some_dsn" INSERT INTO some_table (column_name) VALUES (#Now()#) /CFQUERY For any other date, just use either of the following methods you're most comfortable with (there are, of course, other ways of doing this, as always... ;)): CFSET theDateToInsert = #CreateODBCDateTime(some_date)# CFQUERY NAME="qryInsertDateTime" DATASOURCE="some_dsn" INSERT INTO some_table (column_name) VALUES (#theDateToInsert#) /CFQUERY OR: CFQUERY NAME="qryInsertDateTime" DATASOURCE="some_dsn" INSERT INTO some_table (column_name) VALUES (#CreateODBCDateTime(theDateToInsert)#) /CFQUERY OR: CFQUERY NAME="qryInsertDateTime" DATASOURCE="some_dsn" INSERT INTO some_table (column_name) VALUES (#DateFormat(theDateToInsert, 'mm/dd/' [or whatever mask you wish to use])#) /CFQUERY Cheers, -- David -Original Message- From: Denny dd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2000 1:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: RE: Unable To insert Proper Date Hi!

RE: Technical Documentation
"Technical documentation" is a subjective thing in most web development houses I've worked for. However, in my opinion, the need for and content of technical documentation (part of the "deliverables", as referred to by some people) needs to be part of the initial design, planning and discovery stage for any given project. The scope of technical docs varies from project to project and from developer to client as well. I have done projects where a readme.txt file was all the customer required. On the other hand, I have done projects where the technical documentation contained massive amounts of instructions [user's manual], code, screen captures of individual screens, etc. Also, keep in mind that a consistent comments policy within the code templates can help to cut down on the amount of technical documentation as well. I don't mean to be vague with my answer but I don't think a question like this can be answered in a definitive manner as each job/project/customer comes with its own needs and requirements in my experience. I suppose the main thing to keep in mind is how the contract is written. If the client will end up owning the codebase and all the work, they may want more in-depth documentation. If, on the other hand, the developer retains ownership of the codebase and is only licensing it to a specific client, there is less need of this kind of in-depth documentation. Cheers, -- David L.

RE: CF Error - Help please.........
You have a FONT COLOR="#00" inside a CFOUTPUT.../CFOUTPUT tag set. You must either delete the # sign in this case, or escape it by using two ## signs. CF sees the single # sign as the beginning of a CF variable/expression and doesn't find the ending # sign, so it balks. If this isn't the correct scenario, send more information and/or code.
