Hi all, I am working on a two-select related drop down menu. I have been using a coldfusion custom tag which is called CF_TwoSelectsRelated for a while, that works well for me. But I couldn’t figure out a way to write this query to be used in CF_TwoSelectsRelated. Here is my table...

By the way, I'm using Windows Server 2003, ColdFusion MX 7 and SQL Server. I run my own server but my domain resides with my ISP.

Hi all, I've seen many web applications being built now that create a subdomain on the fly when the user creates their account. I'd like to figure out how to do this and how to point the subdomain to the proper database record. For example, Joe Smith creates an account using an online form. A...

Thanks so much for the quick response! Mike

I don't know much about using Application.cfc's rather than Application.cfm's but since it looks as if it's good practice to use the .cfc method I'm trying to convert to that. I'm setting my datasource in my Application.cfc So the top level Application.cfc sets <cfset request.dsn="eschool2">...

Thanks a lot. I'll check it out. Mike

Does anyone know of a way or existing application that can be installed on a server that would allow a user to upload a normal PowerPoint presentation and have the app on the server convert it automatically to a Flash file? I know of a lot of client apps where the user could install it on his...

Hi, I'm about to write an application using CF 7, Windows 2003 and SQL Server. At first there won't be much traffic so I'll just have it on one server but I'm hoping that the application eventually gets used so heavily that I'll need to purchase the CF Enterprise edition (I'm using Standard...

Most go through just fine. Just a few each day get stuck. Normally if something's wrong with the email addresses it tries to send them via spool then puts them into the Undelvr folder where they remain. Looking at those that get stuck in spool though it appears that they from and to email...

Hi everyone, I have been using an application that has the ability to allow users to send email. The application is four years old now and I've never had any trouble until recently when I switched over to a new server. I'm running MX 6.1 and Windows Server 2003. I was using MX 6.1 and Windows...

Thanks for the ideas. I never thought of using CFMAIL to do this. That might actually work for this instance. Thanks again, Mike

I will take an idea on either method (upload or download). I guess the user would complete on online coldfusion form to enter a record in the db telling the CF server to upload Movie A to the user's computer at 3:00 a.m. on 12/13/04. Hopefully that could be possible... Mike

Hi all, I'm using CF MX 6.1, Windows 2003 and MS SQL. I'm wondering if there is a way to use ColdFusion code to schedule that a movie clip be downloaded to my computer during a certain time of night? I can usually generate a dynamic list of QuickTime movies the user can click on to...

Thanks for the ideas. No, I'm not using cfloop to send the emails. I'll try that and see if that helps. Also, I have tested with both valid and invalid addresses in the from field and that doesn't seem to be able to replicate it. Thanks!

Hi, Hoping for some help on a mail problem. Running Windows 2000 server, MS SQL Server and ColdFusion MX. I have an application that allows teachers to create websites for their classes. They can enroll groups of students and each student has an email address. They can use a form then to...
