Your problem is as the error message says - its in line 71 where the FCKEditor component is being instantiated.
I suspect it's to do with the path or a mapping. Try changing your current #basePath#fckeditor to explicitly list it out and see if the error is with #basePath#. For example change that line to the following and see if the problem goes away ... fckEditor = createObject("component", "fckeditor.fckeditor"); That's for if you have installed FCKEditor directly under your web root. Quite possibly you are going to have to change your original line to fckEditor = createObject("component", "#basepath#.fckeditor.fckeditor"); Note that the CreateObject function is looking for a file called fckeditor.cfc so therefore the last fckeditor in the createobject is the name of the component. The previous 'fckeditor' is the name of the folder it sits in. If, like me, you have your fckeditor installed inside a folder called cfforms, then the instantiation line will read as follows: fckEditor = createObject("component", "cfforms.fckeditor.fckeditor"); Hth.
