CFgrid's problem

CFGRID is the scurge of ColdFusion Server ;-)
You didn't mention your exact problem (which would've been helpful), but I've had nothing but one problem after another with CFGRID MX. I could usually get it working under CF5.0, but now that I'm trying it under MX, it fails to initialize on almost 80% of our test machines... and that's after you get the very ugly error about needing to install Java2 and get all that worked out.
And even when it did work, you always got the stupid "Java Plug-in Security Warning" because Macromedia was too cheap to actually get a real certificate (not acceptable in a "enterprise-calibre solution", IMHO)
We ended up building our own in pure CFML... it's a bit slower than CFGRID, but we got built-in caching after the initial load, and built some sorting routines. So "slow at first" vs. "doesn't work at all" is an acceptable trade-off.
Doesn't help you that much, I know... other than a little co-misery.
I think if you just spent a little bit of time writing your own equivilent, you'll end up being much happier.
