So I've got a dumb q again...
<cfloop index="q" from="-5" to="5">
works perfectly and gives me numbers from -5 to 5.  Counts up.  
How can I make it loop / output the other way, from 5 to -5.  Counts down?

This is my first web service.  I thought I read that the service registers
itself when first run, but it's just not jumping for me.  I'd try registering
it, but I'm not sure how to fill in all the blanks in the CF Administrator's
Register Web Service form.

I would like to run a Coldfusion page to update tables via a DTS Package (Data Transfer Services) in a SQL 2000 Server database from an Access database.
I need the Coldfusion code.

Could someone please clarify, once and for all, how the CF Missing Template
Handler is supposed to work?
I have a server (Windows Server 2003, sp1 / IIS 6) on which multiple web sites
are defined, via host headers. After playing around as recommended in this

Line 7 fails because CF does not like: .#what#.XmlText inside a ##. I tried
Evaluate, DE etc, but could not get it working. Any ideas?
1<CFSET temp1 = "method, device, disposition, completed_by, who_intubated_1,
who_intubated_fellow_1, cricoid_1">

i have a form that i require an individual to upload a file with.  however, i
am not putting the attachment in a db, i need it to simply attach to an html
email message.  i tried using:
<cfif DirectoryExists( ExpandPath( ".\ResumeFolder\" ) )>

Just found this issue, which doesn't seem to be well documented and may come up
for people trying to migrate to Application.cfc.
Seems that a cferror tag in Application.cfc (placed in the CFC initialization
code) searches for its template differently from the same cferror tag in

I am hoping someone can help me.  I have a javascript function that does a
loop and creates an error message that I want to show in a "cfwindow".  Is
there a way to do this as opposed to populating the window with contents from
.cfm page?  Here is my code:

I've recently started working with the cfsprydataset tag and have gotten past a
few hurdles. I'm prototyping an 'autosuggest' function against a JSON format
spry dataset which is created in a CFC. Here's my cfsprydataset call:
<cfsprydataset

I am making calls to a web service to update data.
Is there a way I can see what data is being sent to the web service?
Thx

I want to protect my application from being modified/stolen by others, so I
need to go through and compile my CF code into byte code. I've done that before
and it works fine.
However now I have a delima. With CF8 out I want to make use of the new

In CF8.
Our site lets CF store cfid/cftoken in CF's default session cookie.  We don't
need or do any custom cookie management.
Is there a way for us to set the default cookie's expiration time?  Ideally,

I am using <cfgrid format="html"> and I populate the grid using the query
attribute not the "bind" attribute at least as of right now.  My grid works
fine but the problem is it will not refresh when I call
ColdFusion.Grid.refresh('gridName', true).

I am using cfgrid Format=HTML. I have no problem with populating the grid from
a query. My problem comes from
the href text box in the grid. I have a variable name like the following:
/l/listing/tag/#gettopcat.categoryName#.html
