Well, I'll agree with you halfway. COM is definitely not dead, although MM acts like it is. However, webservices may be able to replace basic COM functions like using Office to convert a word doc to html. But it's not going to be able to replace the sophistication COM offers developers.

With reagrd the problem try myMethod = myObject.item("title"); myMethod = "title"; Jason Lees Systems Developer National Express Coaches Ltd. -----Original Message----- From: Joshua O'Connor-Rose [mailto:whifflebat@;hotmail.com] Sent: 12 November 2002 15:57 To: CF-Talk Subject: CFOBJECT and conversion from ASP OK so COM is dead, I would like to see the thread. Do you have a link. That would also imply that no one uses it anymore. Anyway the office I'm developing for is using all that dead stuff. I have been advocating replacing what they have with Verity and hopefully that is what the system will convert to. But right now . . . I'm a slave to a contract. In response to your suggestion (thanks for the post) myObject = myObject.item("title"); myObject = "title"; This throws an error "the parameter is incorrect" on this line: myObject = myObject.item("title"); which I assume is coming from the object itself. So that doesn't work either. (It as if the object won't accept the name of the option without an assignment operator). Any other ideas? or am I going to have to use asp? -Joshua O'Connor-Rose -All is Good ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com
