Re: Comma in price
You may run into problems if you want to do alternate formatting with it in the future. I used the commands of set locale to set the locale to a comma currency (like "Canadian French"), then LSNumberFormat to format it according to the locale set. Just another idea!

Re: Me again : about that printing thing from a web form
I built something similar as a COM object in VB. I used the printers object and methods to print, it worked like a charm. You could probably whip up a quick VB COM object to run server side that uses the Printers object. Quickest way would be to use something like cf_pdf to create an unencrypted PDF file, then use some combination of acrobat/ghostscript to dump it to the printer you want. A great book for learning VB Com objects is Visual Basic Objects by John Smiley. One chapter of it was worth the entire price of the book for me.

Re: Reporting Tools
CFREPORT could concievably work very well too -- it would only generate the report and drop it to a specified file. Have you tried the examples provided from CF 4.5+ documentation to use cfreport? if all else fails, google "+cfreport +example" without the quotes. I was referring to a activex/java based report viewer that embeds into th web browser that allows u to run and view reports right in the browser. You can find more info about on the devzone at: http://www.businessobjects.com/services/support/default.asp Gluck, Jas >Are you referring to the built in CFREPORT functionality?

Re: help with string manipulation (Find,Replace)
Another way you could look at this is to check for the length of the total characters in the first line. If it will never be less than 4, then you could wrap it with a conditional statement to check until it finds the first real line that is longer than 4 characters.

Re: Reporting Tools
Is there any reason you couldn't use the crystal java report viewer to open & run the report off the server?

cf forum suggestions
Apologize for asking a question that has no doubt been asked before, couldn't find the search button on the houseoffusion.com site. I am presently bringing up a project manager to handle work with developers and clients. One of the requirements is to be able to attach a forum to an entire client, as well as any one of their projects. I am looking to use this forums software in a slew of other projects, I was wondering if anyone could make any suggestions. So far I've noticed cfforums is a good bang for the buck, feature, and presumably extensibility wise (with the open source license) but, before I take the leap, I want some first hand experience of the different forums out there on extending and customizing the forums (open source would be a must). Thanks in advance!

CF Developer(s) required in Edmonton, Alberta
Hi Guys, I am looking to get in contact with CF Developers in the Edmonton area to do some on-going development on projects. Experience can vary, the only thing I look for is an ability to solve problems, and to be able to pick what you need as you go. Ideally, a few years under your belt would be nice. I would be interested in going on this path on a project-by-project base initially, there is lots of work, but, it has to be a right fit to find self-started people. (I guess that's the wish everywhere! ;) Eventually this will be available to developers outside of the Edmonton Region, at present our dev needs to be managed out of Edm to a larger scale, till them , I'll hold my breath and await some off-list responses.

How to get field names in MSAccess
Interesting, I was toying with this exact same thing the other day, except with an added spin: In access, the field information is shown as follows when you create/edit fields in a table: [field name] [data type] [description of field] I want to extract table information, including the description fields of the fields in the table design field. I often have to port overflowing access databases to something more suitable like mysql, and enhance the data structure along the way. Thoughts anyone? I am going to try and poke around in an access DB with crystal reports to see if it can show the info like I need it.

Dave, Thanks, I just slammed my head into my keyboard. What I meant to ask about was the "Compiled Binary Deployment" feature. BD apparently compiles all the code into one binary executable that can be distributed. I am wondering if someone can point me to some documentation on the feature, it might be worth the price of the server in itself for me if it does what I think it does.

Hi, I apologize if this question is redundant, it didnt seem to clearly process into my head, or I haven't had enough coffee today ;) BD website states: "Package portable CFML applications within standard J2EE Web ARchive (WAR) and Enterprise ARchive (EAR) files; " Is this feature available in all versions of BD? Or just specific ones? I think as a developer, it would be amazing to be able to whip up a self- installing web app, throw it onto a cd, and let the client run it locally, and still have it run through a web browser. Question is, do i have to pay a few grand everytime I want to do it?

EXPERTS: CF 4.5 with Apache 2.0??
Appreciate the link rob, Yeah, I have already seen that link, I had it sorta working with the cf 5 module talking to cf 4.5, but it's quite not the same. I really wanted to stick with 4.5 till I was confident enough with MX to make the jump. I'm really quite dissapointed that macromedia hasn't released something, I hope they do come out with support for it soon, or if they haven't let out enough source to get the job done ourselves. ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm

Securing CF Server
Hi, I am currently moving from custom hosting a few trusted and specialized sites on my servers. I am contemplating opening things up to allow some more hosting to occur on the boxes, but the issue I have come up with, and very little time to research is: How can I make sure the CF server environment is secure and as relatively safe as can be, besides the obvious disabling of tags, etc. I would rather like to leave as much functionality _on_, the projects being hosted on the servers are a bit on the complex side, is there a good tutorial / archived discussion threads somewhere on this matter that I may research?

Re: session cookies to expire immediately on browser close

CFID & CFTOKEN Unexplicably incrementing
Hi Guys, I am having a problem with one of my session applications. Basically, I am cutting out the cookie that is planted by cfapplication, in lieu of the IE6 Third-Party cookie denial by default. (My code is generating a part of a website for another domain.) MY APPLICATION.CFM does the following: SO, at this point, the CFID and CFTOKEN should be stored in session.autotoken and session.XXautotoken respectively, correct? (I am referencing http://www.cfhub.com/adavanced/managing_state/cookies.cfm) Now, when the application goes into the main menu after logging in to the system and creating the session, I have it generate a link with the #XXAutoToken# embedded. When I go to browse it on the browser, do a View Source, it shows the CFID as being incremented by 1 (+1). Meaning, if my CFID in my Address bar in my browser is 28303, the one embedded in the page it self is 28304. Also, obviously, it changes the CFTOKEN. To me, it seems to be regenerating the CFID / CFTOKEN somehow. I am sure someone has seen this already, thoughts / comments would be appreciated.

Re: Web Chat Client
Chris, My personal choice and recommendation is Conference Room (http://www.conferenceroom.com) It *IS* a java client, (fully functioning demo on their site) however it excels in the following ways: 1) The Conference Room Server is basically a Windows based IRC Server. This means you can potentially set up any myriad of bots to handle questions, transfer files, etc in each channel without any great difficulty, as there's a ton of stuff out there for IRC. 2) It's quick -- last time I checked they redid the Java it with Swing lightweight components, they have a simple and an advanced client, and best of all, it's probably as good as, if not better than the Other Java based IRC Client out there -- JPilot. 3) You can use an irc client. =) If you need more selling points, I've set this up in a large scale environment, security fits fine (you can easily code soemthing that requires you a password to connect to the server from the page with the embedded applet), please don't hesitate to contact me off list. Hope it helps, Jas - - - ORIGINAL MESSAGE [ snip ..] A client wants some type of web-based chat integrated into their site.
