Yes, but was the CFUSION_DISABLE_DBCONNECTIONS function removed because JDBC does not support that kind of function or was there some other reason the function was removed? Inquiring minds want to know! (The inquiring minds belong to people I work for who want to know why an upward migration to CFMX cost us functionality we had with CF5 . . . ) George [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:193175 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

That's pretty drastic - I think we need to find another solution. Thanks for your input, you have saved me many more hours of surfing/research . . . Pardon my ignorance, but can we speculate why MM removed the CFUSION_DISABLE_DBCONNECTIONS function (and other related functions) from CFMX? Does it have to do with Java? Or does it have to do with security? Jochem - I keep wanting to ask how is it that you seem to be so in touch with U.S. television shows when you are over there in .nl? :-) George [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
