I earlier reported that I was successful getting CFAnywhere running  
entirely from CD -- this is still true!

But it has been pointed out to me, by Steve Duys, that the McKoi db may  
lack some basic features that you would likely need to run your  on CD  
or on the Desktop.  These are:

-- a rather unusual method to get auto-numbering
-- inability to create indexes

This was an oversight by me and I apologize if it has caused you any  
wasted effort.

We (Steve and I) are currently investigating another db, HSQLDB, that  
may be a better fit for your app -- while still meeting the other  
objectives of CFAnywhere.

I have updated the CFAnywhere docs at:

<http://67.124.145.42:9090/BlueDragon_webapp_61/CFAnywhereDocs/
CFAnywhere.html>

to note the problem.

I wanted to post something here (CF-Talk & BlueDragon lists) to alert  
you to the issue, and perhaps, save you some time and frustration.

You can still go through the CFAnywhere docs to see the steps for a  
generic app.  But you will, likely,  find that the McKoi component is  
not appropriate for *your* app.

I have some time this week end, and I hope to have an alternative  
solution soon.
