The problem is that you are trying to treat a complex object as a simple value.
Take the following example. I am creating array that holds 2 values. If I were to dump it everything would be fine but If I tried to output it like below I would get the same error you are. <cfset skills = ArrayNew(1)> <cfset arrayAppend(skills,"ColdFusion")> <cfset arrayAppend(skills,"JavaScript")> <cfoutput>#skills#</cfoutput> This is because the compiler does not understand what you are trying to do. If you want to see the string representation of this object you could always use the toString() method. <cfoutput>#skills.toString()#</cfoutput> Hope this clears it up a little.
