Hey guys

I'm sure some of you have gotten in this situation before. Unfortunately I do not have the experience in CF to know how to do this myself. Basically I'm updating a clients webpage where the webmaster left (quit? who knows) And it is written in cold fusion.

During the file upload the function sticks a few property attributes into a database to match with a file so when you list it later it shows these attributes (name of person, date, where they want to put the advertisement etc). However for the life of me I don't know where to look to find where this database is located. If there is a file I can access to get into it that would be great. My job is just to update the file types to add one more category.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
You should have access to some sort of admin. Try to take a look at that control panel / cf admin to see where the actual database is located.
It's more likely that the attributes are written into a table within a dB. I would try to find the table, and the field names.

hope it helps...
