Hi - thanks for the last pointer, it helped. I have a CFINSERT that always worked in previous CF versions, but now generates an error "String index out of range: -2". I have verified that all of the variables being inserted are correct.
The CFINSERT: <CFINSERT DATASOURCE="#dbID#" TABLENAME="Participants" FORMFIELDS="post,week,datereg,rank,first, mi, last, suf, degree, title, ss, comp, st1, st2, city, state, zip, country, sst1, sst2, scity, sstate, szip, scountry, ophone, fax, card, expdate, dummyCCnumb, confccard, addappr, zipappr, cardname, email, reg_form, data_entry_person, fee, amt"> This is all CF that was working solidly for years before the move to MX7. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:309294 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
