Agreed - security models vary tremendously.

RE: QUERY PROBLEM
Comparing dates are fun - here's a couple suggestions: -check your formatting of the date object you're comparing and format your where-clause date to be exactly the same format as appears in the DB (i.e. smalldate time, ODBC d/t obj. etc.); relying on the auto conversion within ODBC has yielded unpredictable results for me... -Make sure it's a Date/Time object in the DB... -Pass in (as defaults if necessary) all date/time elements that exist in the DB data (i.e. if seconds exist, have them in the compare value even if its :00... -If you want all games later than today, get rid of the = in your where clause(s) -If you only want the next (1) record, use the "top" function in the SQL to get the first record -It will help performance if you set up an index on your dates in the DB table...

Greets,
I am attempting to encrypt a text file and store it in an SQL table.
First, I create a name, and then see if the file exists...
cfset outfile = "\\web1\reports\cr_store\#answer3#" (where answer3 is the
filename)
cfif fileexists ("#outfile#")
Then, read the file into a variable
cffile action = "read" file="#outfile#" Variable="txtoutput"
Create a key
cfset key='1234567'
Then encrypt it
CFSET encrypted = encrypt(txtoutput, key)
and then I store '#encrypted#' in a text field in an SQL7 table.
Not bad so far...
Now, when I try and view the file, I again set the key,
cfset key='1234567'
And retrieve the field from a query I ran
cfset txtoutput = #get_report.report#
then I attempt to decrypt the file
cfset decrypted = decrypt(txtoutput, key)
And I get the error...
The value to be decrypted is no valid.
Any ideas

RE: IsDefined() Problem
The reason the quotes are there is that you want to check the existence of
the NAME of the var, not the resolved value of your variable as the name of
the variable you are checking for... If you were to use
IsDefined(attributes.myvar) and the variable was NOT defined, you would get
an error because CF tries to evaluate the variable name inside the function
brackets, then determine if htere is a var name with the evaluated value.
The IsDefined("attributes.myvar") way checks to see if the variable scoped
and named "attributes.myvar" exists, which (generally) is how the function
is used.
This is a handy lesson to learn, as it applies to all the CF functions.

RE: dynamically updating one select list based upon the selection in another

Truman -Original Message- From: Terri Stocke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 12:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: dynamically updating one select list based upon the selection in another I have an update form in which the the user can choose an option from a select list. When this form is initially displayed, the current info from the database is automatically selected. This field happens to contain the names of various departments in our division. Each department has a default individual assigned to it (meaning that when a department is selected from the list, the information submitted will automatically be routed to the default person for that group). The field below that is a dynamically populated select list of all of the people in our division. If a user so chooses, they can override the default person assigned to a group, and specify someone else from this list. Now, here's what I want to do. When the form is first displayed, I want both the department select list AND the people list to have the current value in the db displayed (i.e. the department it will be routed to and the default contact person's name in that department). If, however, the user changes the name of the department to route to, I would like the list below it to automatically then select the default contact person's name for that department. In a nutshell, the first list will drive what is selected in the second list, but I want the second list to be independent (the first list will not change what is selected if I make a different selection in the second list). I'm assuming I will have to (ugh) use a javascript for this? Admittedly, I am neither a javascript guru nor a coldfusion guru. Can anyone provide me with some direction on this? Thanks in advance!

One way to manage this is to "trick" the stats program into capturing the query string, by using "/" as a delimiter rather than ? and THe latest formURL2attributes.cfm handles this translation.

HTH Truman -Original Message- From: Jason Egan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2000 10:42 AM To: Ryan Cc: Cf-Talk Subject: RE: track page hits no I haven't... that bites... sometimes you get a lot of help, and sometimes you get ignored... Anyhow, I was hoping for something a little less taxing on the system, but my fusebox apps are designed so that by the fuseaction you can pretty much tell what page you're on... not always, but basically I was thinking of running a little script on each page that updated the count on that page in a table. I was also considering some other things, like building a client var that was carried from page to page... with the tokens etc... then I could only updated the page once per session... if I update then I've only got a smaller table, or I was toying with just adding the unique hits per session for each page with time etc... then we could run some reports on date/time page hits... maybe referrals... etc. maybe to go as far as doing something so we could tell how long they spent on the page... who knows... just hoping that there was some input from people, and possibly some examples or standing products... one of our poor customers would like to tell what is happening in his cart, but all he can do is count how many people go in... after that, who knows I'll keep digging though... later, Jason Egan -Original Message- From: Ryan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2000 10:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: track page hits At 13:55 8/8/00 -0600, you wrote: Using the fusebox method, the index.cfm is hit a million times per session (you know what I mean)... Any suggestions on tracking the individual pages? For example, I have a fusebox cart - I would like to track each page in the cart so I can tell where/if the cart is being abandoned. Jason did you get any replies on this? I am interested in this too.
