I would actually disagree with that.
Someone in our office tried calling a custom tag that alters the generated
content with cfmodule, and it did not work correctly, even though it worked when
called the standard way. He used </cfmodule> at the end too.

Yes.
You should set up a variable (preferably in your application.cfm) that sets a
random number and append that to all your URLs, eg:
<cfset token="nc=#randrange(1,999999)#">
<cfoutput>
<a href="newpage.cfm?#token#">Click here to go to the non-cached page</a>
</cfoutput>
The URL will end up something like: newpage.cfm?nc=12314. The dummy argument is
ignored by the browser.
This will force the browser to get new pages because all the URLs are different.
I had big caching problems with Mac Internet Explorer 4.5 before implementing
this.

What are you disagreeing with? I have it working fine. Using <cfmodule> is
not a non-standard way. What was the error?
* you can use <cfmodule template="..."> instead of <cf_...>
* you can use <cfmodule template="..."></cfmodule> instead of
<cf_...></cf_...>
Are there any functional differences between using <cf_> and <cfmodule>?
Apart from how you specify the location of the template, I'm not aware of
any. That doesn't mean there aren't any, because there are a lot of things
I'm not aware of.

There was no error, it just did not work the same as when run without cfmodule.
As in:
<cfmodule template="getcontent.cfm">
...
</cfmodule>
produced different output to
<cf_getcontent>
...
</cf_getcontent>
In getcontent.cfm, it set thistag.generatedcontent="", which did not seem to
work when calling with cfmodule.
Perhaps cfmodule sends a complete copy of the environment to the tag, whereas
the tag would normally receive a reference to the actual environment (and so
could modify it).

It got to the point that our clients "requested" (AKA ordered) us to remove
them from their sites. There customers were complaining quite a bit. We
removed them and never looked back. In any instance now where we would
consider using a CFGRID - usually in an admin section, we use <IFRAME> and
warn users that IE is required.
I am in the process of investigating ways of using flash instead of
<IFRAME>.

I believe that the ODBC drivers for SQLServer7 are actually native drivers.
Microsoft just put an ODBC interface on it. I think I heard this being

That's weird. I just tried this:
file1.cfm:
<html><body>
<cf_testa>
<p>Comment this out using cf_</p>
</cf_file2>
<cfmodule template="file2.cfm">
<p>Comment this out using cfmodule</p>

file2.cfm:
<cfif ThisTag.ExecutionMode EQ "end">
<cfset ThisTag.GeneratedContent="<!--" & ThisTag.GeneratedContent &
"-->">
</cfif>
and it worked fine. Maybe in some circumstance it doesn't work? But in this
simple case it does.

Subject: History list
Message-ID:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This may actually be best achieved with a JavaScript solution so I apologise
if some regard it as OT.
We're deploying one of our large manuals to the web (which is currently
distributed as a Win 3.1 help file - those were the days) as HTML. One of
its features (the win help version) is that it has a history function and
users can back track. I want to try an emulate this for the last 5 or so
pages the user was on.
I know you can do this by using a href and using history - 1, history -2 etc
but rather than have a simple image or bit of static text with a link I want
to actually try to produce a small list with the name of the page they were
on, linked to that page (the link can use history -1 etc but I want to
actually get the name of the page if I can). After all users won't remember
what the page was 5 clicks ago but it will help them if they can see the
name of the page. The history function in JavaScript doesn't appear to
provide this info.
Any clue please.

Subject: RE: Structs contained within the application scope?
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Umm, what am I missing here? As I was about to type in the duplicate
function, I thought "wait, we use structcopy with structures more than one
level deep", so I did some testing and I can't recreate this problem (or
expected behavior) in either 4.0.1 or 4.5. I was able to structcopy a
structure multiple levels deep, and assign the application structure to a
variable. The only problem I ran into is that doing a structcopy on the
application variable was the same as a simple assignment - it was still just
a pointer.
Here is one of the tests I ran - (<cf_objectdump> is from the developer's
exchange):
<cfset application.one = structnew()>
<cfset application.one.two = structnew()>
<cfset application.one.two.three = structnew()>
<cfset application.one.four = "four">
<cfset application.one.two.five = "five">
<cfset application.one.two.three.six = "six">
<cf_objectdump object="#application.one#">
<cfset test = application.one>
<cf_objectdump object="#test#">
<cfset application.one.four = "fourteen">
<cf_objectdump object="#test#">
<cfset test2 = structcopy(application.one)>
<cf_objectdump object="#test2#">
<cfset application.one.four = "twentyfour">
<cf_objectdump object="#test2#">
Am I missing something that will bite me in the rear in the future? Or just
totally misunderstanding this e-mail.
Thanks,
Dan

This is expected behavior with StructCopy; it only copies "one level
deep".
If you want to make a complete duplicate, no matter how many nested data
containers you have, use the Duplicate function introduced in CF 4.5.1,
which makes a "deep copy".

Subject: (IIS) Customer file uploads - restrictions of file types
We are getting requests from our customers to upload files to a password
secured area of our site so they can share them with other users from their
company, as well as with our internal people. The intent is for files like
Excel, Word, and Powerpoint documents. Some of the restrictions we need to
do are pretty straightforward, like who can upload, who can delete, total
file size, etc., but what pitfalls do I need to watch out for from a server
security standpoint? We are on IIS 4.0, Windows NT 4.0 SP5, CF4.5 ENT, with
plans to go to Win2000. Is it as simple as restricting certain executable
file types?
All advice is truly appreciated . . . unless Dave Watts sends me more code
from our site . . . whoops . . . :)

No, not unless you want to write a COM or you can us can COM from MS Access
and you can tell that to print any thing from Access. But it you can only
use the default printer setup on that system
I am writing a Com object in Delphi that will let me print any Access Report
from the ColdFusion to any printer on the network.
It will also let me send information to Access to fill the report with the
data. E.g. You could design a Report in Access with no data in it and then
the ColdFusion would send the info to the COM which get the report from
access fill the data in the right places in the forum and send it to any
print on that computer you want.

AFAIK, IE4/5 have this lovely ability to over-ride the page settings for
expiry.
With IE5, when the setting is "Automatic" it takes note of the setting, but
that's the only one that seems to - if the user sets it's on "Never" then
you won't be able to touch it.
It's a real PITA, but that's Micro$oft for you...

CFContent apparently has problems, and Allaire recommend going back to SP5
if you use it - I use SP6a quite happily as I (currently) don't use
CFContent at all

There's a neater solution that this one - rather than having to re-convert
it back later...
<input type="hidden" name="comments"
value="#Replace(form.Comments,"""",""","All")#">
You can use this for all form types, and the HTML is converted when the form
passes it along

I have to totally agree with this assessment - I never went to Uni, hold no
degrees or real qualifications in programming, but I've been a
programmer/developer for the last 10-12 years (in a variety of languages)
I cheated on finding a job though, I own a third of my company <g>
I'm actually taking the CF Certification in November (at the Conference)
just so that clients are more at ease with the development work - I prove
that I can do the work by the sites I've developed, not by a piece of paper

I found sites much more stable by not using Access <g>
Remember that Access has the horrid maximum 50 concurrent connections - that
counts for multiple uses on the same template, and over any databases as
it's the MSJet driver that has the limit, not the database

If they are the same database type, then there is usually a way...
in SQL Server it's quite easy;
<cfquery name="myQuery" datasource="myDSN">
select t1.column1, t2.column2
from table1 as t1, serverName.databaseName.dbo.table2 as t2
...
</cfquery>
using Access you can refer to the database by a it's exact location, but I
can't remember the code as I haven't worked in Access for over a year now
If they are differing database types, as in Access and SQL Server, then no,
you can't

Seeing as the history object in JavaScript is an array, you can refer to any
of the entries in it - BUT, it calls them all by URL, it's only the browser
that calls them by title
The only way I can think of getting the titles is to run an (ugly) loop that
briefly opens another window for that URL, grabs the title, then closes that
window - this would mean loads of windows flicking into existance, then
closing immediately.
This would work, but it wouldn't be quick if the server connection was slow,
oh, and did I mention it would be ugly?

I would suggest using an array and the
ArrayDeleteAt(array, position)
ArrayAppend(array, value)
so if you have a var session.history
as you add a values use ArrayAppend(session.history, value) and
if the array is over 5 entries use ArrayDeleteAt(session.history,1)
