Cookies can only contain strings, dates, booleans and the like. If you're trying to dump the entire query into a COOKIE then it's no go. Also, I just tested it and I don't believe that an UPDATE query even RETURNS results. It just runs and does it's thing. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.

The reasons for this are not important, but I need to get the result of the following query into a cookie: BEGIN TRANSACTION UPDATE LinkShareMaxID SET LinkShareUID = LinkShareUID + 1 SELECT LinkShareUID FROM LinkShareMaxID COMMIT TRANSACTION The results of the query (I thought) return a simple integer, but I get the following error message: ________________________________ Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values. The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate expression result as a simple value, however, the result cannot be converted to a simple value. Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time values. Queries, arrays, and COM objects are examples of complex values. <p> The most likely cause of the error is that you are trying to use a complex value as a simple one. For example, you might be trying to use a query variable in a <CFIF> tag. This was possible in ColdFusion 2.0 but creates an error in later versions. ____________________________________ How can I get that value into a cookie?
