Tom,
Sorry I missed the first part of your question. The only other suggestion
I have is that I have had problems calling a method and passing a parameter
to it. I tried it several times on an application I was writing and
couldn't get it to work so I gave up.
What I do instead is have properties on the object for every parameter. I
then set these properties and call the method without parameters. You just
need to make sure that your methods understand that if they don't have
parameters to look at the property on the object to get the value to
use. This seems to work very well. To take the code I see below and
change it I would do the following:
<cfset oASIWeb.PathParm = "E:\InetPub\wwwroot\SolidData\Data">
<cfset rs = oASIWeb.SetDataPath>
<cfset oASIWeb.DBParm = "sdweb">
<cfset rs = oASIWeb.SetDatabase>
<cfset oASIWeb.IDParm = "USERS">
<cfset RetVal = oASIWeb.NewID>
