Hi, all.
I'm creating a basic budgeting/forecasting application
and I'd like some possible solutions to this issue:
Rather than have the app go through all the debits
and credits to calculate the current balance each time
the app is used, I'd like to have the previous balance
already
Alternatively I could save the form data on the confirmation page to
hidden values and then on the action page use the data in the
hidden fields to write to the database.
That's probably how I would approach it.
Uncle Ben's CF_EmbedFields custom tag would make this easy.

Nothing wrong with either approach, of course. I had a couple of reasons
for thinking form would be better.
- I have to have a form for the configuration button anyway.
- Sessions would have to be enabled.

I was trying to figure out the best approach to do this.
Initially on the confirmation page I was going to:

cfoutput#form.dataentered#/cfoutput
2. At the same time store a copy of the form data

As an alternative to dynamically creating/managing directories and

a sweepstake is added, modified or deleted, we recreated a .htaccess

Ryan's right, and I'll go so far as to say what he's described to you is a
*much* better way to create new sweepstakes. Think about it: once you start
creating a bunch of subdirectories and copying .cfm templates into them, at
some point in the future you may find yourself maintaining them all

name them with keywords to benefit your clients' SEO. So
