RE: Coldfusion Debugger
Thanks Dave, Yes, I have been using the method of debugging but there always the times where certain values are being set and your are not sure if all the proper code is being executed. Stepping through the stack is helpful. But your right the interactive debugger needs some improvement.

Unfortunately, the interactive debugger can be a bit difficult to deal with. It's a little more complex in its setup than traditional debuggers, which debug code running on the developer's machine. The interactive debugger uses the RDS client to connect to a CF server, then send instructions to that server to stop at the breakpoints you've set, etc. You might find this presentation useful. It covers using the interactive debugger, among other things: http://www.figleaf.com/figleafhome/cfug/CFUGSep99-GAkickoff.zip In my opinion, though, just debugging manually, by placing CFOUTPUTs and CFABORTs in your pages to diagnose specific problems, is easier and more helpful.

Coldfusion Debugger
I just dont get it I am a newbie to Coldfusion, maybe about 6 weeks old. In my previously life, I have been in the client/server arena for over 11 years. I have used many types of interactive debuggers but when it comes to using the debugger for studio, I just dont get it. I have a fusebox infrastructure that I would like to step through. I tried following the instructions in the Coldfusion Studios manual but I am not succeeding. Can anyone please shed some light on this?
