RE: Handling Requests And Statuses (Was "Re: Fw: Thanks")

another thought- set your DSN as an application variable in the
application.cfm file (or app_globals in fusebox) and just reference that
variable thereafter in your code. I do this for the DSN as well as some
other stuff like visual preferences in my sites so if I do need to make
changes later I can do so in one spot and have them reflected across the
entire site.
