did your cf5 app use unicode? if so, prepare to spend some time migrating. cf5
didn't care about encoding, cf6 & above does.

I migrated from CF5 to CF8. It was a pain in the butt and I'm still updating code and settings. The most important thing is the fact that CFMX (ver 6+) is Java and CF5 is C++ based. We had BIG problems with Visual FoxPro ODBC datasources since CF8 doesn't use the Windows ODBC drivers and CF8 doesn't have VFP drivers. I had to use a third party driver which doesn't support some native VFP functions.

Good luck and may the force be with you.

updating what?
an application? a simple website? a server?
