I had done my share of javascript popup windows and now CF provides a much simpler method.

It appears that the latest version of browsers ie7 and FF3 don't allow you to open up a window using javascript with no address bar.  The location = no doesn't work anymore  (reference1, reference2)

You can also use some other javascript libraries that seem like the job like iBox.

Tried to find some good info on how to implement CF report builder as Adobe didn't provide much.
I found some good info here: http://www.remotesynthesis.com/post.cfm/Introduction-to-Report-Builder

And found some help here:  http://www.auafoundation.org/CFIDE/cfdocs/htmldocs/Developing/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-7916.html

It seems like CF 9 report builder doesn't like Windows 7 very much. The help files don't install quite right.

I had a web hosting service for ColdFusion that was seemingly running slower and slower and slower.  I needed a way to validate what I was seeing.
After running SpeedTest on my current hosting, it took 40-50 seconds to return.  I later determined that this was on a shared hosting service using CF8 and W2003 ( http://www.crystaltech.com )
I've since moved off that service and I'm on CF9 and w2008  (http://www.hostek.com ) and that same SpeedTest returned in under a second.

Found a way to call Ms Access queries from Cold Fusion.  Sometimes I don't have an option and have a MsAccess db backend.  One benefit to calling a query via a stored procedure is that my code is more modular and reuse.
