Ok summer school out so now onto my project agian... The CSV file idea worked great but it turns out professors are stupid and need a full functioning program for step by step instructions. I wrote my dada interpolation program in C++ and allthough vb would probably be easier, im thinking I...

Greetings all, Here is the deal, I'm at a university working on a little project that will allow professors to use a text file that is generated after scantrons are ran, and filter this into a excel spreadsheet(for grades). Now the text file that gets generated is all messed up with missing...

Thanks guys, its hard to learn good programming techniques if your not in a group of programmers...

Hey tlhawkins, So, how often do you use custom tags? I'm running into a CF programming technique problem. Is it better to write long CF scripts or modularize “specific tasks” into custom tags. I realize that this probably depends how often your using that “specific task” but do you have a...

Doe's anyone know if you loose a lot of performance time when you use a lot of Custom tags?

The CF Service Pack....

Chief here, First your asking a VERY broad question, try to narrow it down next time. Now are your tables related? if they arent then you will need two <CFQUERY> statements. If they are related, you can refer to them through a join. Now this can be an inner join,outer join, or another that...

Try the MOD operator, <TABLE> <CFOUTPUT query=&quot;CategoryQuery&quot;> <CFIF CurrentRow mod 2> <TR> </CFIF> <CFSET CatID=CategoryID> <TD width=&quot;50%&quot;>Hello world</TD> </TABLE>

AHHHHH! I didn't know you could reference a query like this #DateFindQuery.MessageDay# That solved everything, you rock!

I need to call apon the power of the cold fusion gods Heres what i got, <CFQUERY NAME=&quot;DateFindQuery&quot; DATASOURCE=&quot;Callender&quot; DBTYPE=&quot;ODBC&quot;> SELECT MessageDay FROM UserMessage WHERE ((MessageMonth='#mo#' AND MessageDay='#count#' AND...

Hey guys, Heres the deal, I want to dynamically populate an array then output it later. Now my C++ brain tells me to do it this way. <CFSET days=ArrayNew(1)> This is where i populate the array <CFSET n=0> <CFLOOP CONDITION=&quot;n LT endday&quot;> <CFSET days[n]=&quot;n&quot;> THIS IS...
