Ah! Thanks Charlie! This makes sense now. I was not using the createObject function right in my last try.
Thanks again! -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Griefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 12:09 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: invoking a cfc function with minimal typing On 6/7/07, Chad Gray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Oh wow.. that looks powerful.
