Hmmm... Try this: <cfset bRet = oUser.addAdminACE(#Attributes.ConnectString#, #int(attributes.conID)#)>
Sometimes the loose typing of CF conflicts with other languages that have more stringent typing requirements. Int() effectively casts your value as a a numerical datatype. It's not uncommong for a a CF "numerical" value is being seen as a string by other languages/environments. I'm not sure if this is helpful because you're using a COM object and not a Java object, but javaCast() might work too... it would take a little experimentation to see if javaCast() can help a COM object when the COM object is expecting an Int value. Hope that helps. If it doesn't, check the liveDocs (http://livedocs.macromedia.com) under the CF version you use. The Functions can be viewed by category, and one of the categories is "View Functions by category" (http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/functio2.htm#wp3532194) and you can look under conversion or mathematical.
