Yeah, I noticed the missing () after I sent the message. Either way, it would have worked (with the parens) or not worked, but at least it would not have given the null pointer error if I could get past that point.
Restarting the CF services didn't make a diff. Now, I'm in the process of uninstalling/reinstalling CF. Thanks! -----Original Message----- From: S.

But with it having been as broken down as you have here, if restarting the server doesn't cure it I think you're looking at a tech support call at this point. s. isaac dealey 434.293.6201 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:234705 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
