Be aware that the underlying CF technology was moved from a C++ codebase in CF5 to a Java codebase in CF6+.

Changes from ODBC in CF5 to JDBC in CF6+
* connection strings cannot be set as an attribute of cfquery
* named parameters cannot be used calling stored procedures with cfstoredproc, the dbvarname parameter of cfprocparam is obsolete.

COM support in Windows
Since Java is now the underlying technology COM support is not as reliable as in C++ based versions of CF.

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.

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