Garry -- Howdy. You're welcome to help yourself to the now-shelved pharmacopoeia of antipsychotics I amassed while trying myself to solve this problem many moons ago. Alternatively, here are some non-pharmaceutical resources that may help you:
If you check the LiveDocs for the "Handling complex data types" topic (http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00001554.htm), you'll see some helpful starting tips there plus, at the bottom, an added comment of mine which leads to a support forum thread (one of a few I posted on this topic over the last couple of years or so) which again poses the question I think you're asking -- and the solution. However, there are formatting constraints in the support forums, and a better formatted version of the solution is also posted elsewhere (http://hcc.musc.edu/research/shared_resources/xml_complex_types_to_cf_structure_notes.cfm). I hope this helps. Alternatively, you can let me know whether you'd rather have the Haldol or Risperdal out of my medicine cabinet; I don't think they've hit their expiration dates yet. :-) -- Larry Afrin, M.D. Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Hematology/Oncology Director of Information Technology, Hollings Cancer Center Medical University of South Carolina [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Garry Viner (GV)" wrote: > Hi there.
