Well from what I can see, you're trying to work with a 2 dimentionnal array
when you only define one dimesion for it. I aint got an example handy but
basicly, here is how I see it..
<cfset testarray = ArrayNew(2)(2)>
in your example here is what you were doing:
<cfset testarray[ArrayLen(testarray)+1][1]
Dimension 1 -------------------^ ^
Dimension 2 -----------------------------------|
BTW: Dimesion 1 isn't necessary....
