The query returns a bunch of HTML in a MS Access memo field. When I invoke the query I set a return variable called bodyStruct. I can dump this variable and see the contents <cfset BodyObj=CreateObject("component","webControl")> <cfinvoke component="#BodyObj#" method="getBody" returnvariable="bodyStruct"> When I try to use it in a cfoutput I get the following error " 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. 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. " Any ideas n how to output this sucker?
