Unfortunately, using COM objects can be problematic with CF occasionally.
Instead of doing what you're doing within a CFSCRIPT, you might have better
luck doing it within CFSET tags:
<cfset rs = oASIWeb.SetDataPath("E:\InetPub\wwwroot\SolidData\Data")>
<cfset rs = oASIWeb.SetDatabase("sdweb")>
<cfset RetVal = oASIWeb.NewID("USERS")>
That usually works for me. To be honest, I've never used COM objects within
CFSCRIPT, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're not supported within
CFSCRIPT as well as they should be.
