Thanks Dan. Ray sent me the answer so I will clarify here. I had made all the modifications in the entity from person.cfc to user.cfc as required to generate the proper getters/setters but I had not set the defaults in the cfproperty defs - so I got the error in cfparam because the values were null. Once I set the defaults in the entity, I didn't get the errors.
Thanks for your quick response.

He most likely has a person Entity (person.cfc) that represents a person. In that file he has properties for each attribute of person. property firstname proeprty lastname property email When you change his code to person.setName() - Its looking for a property in that entity that does not exist. Make sure you go back and update the entity.
