Well, finally got my server guy to cycle the CF service on the affected box - and now queries with cachedwithin set seem to work fine.
I suspect somehow his fiddling with a DSN setting (which one, I'm unsure) somehow tripped this ancient bug, and a service cycle cleared that particular deck. Still, it's odd that a bug that was supposedly fixed four years ago is still kinda out there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:343983 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
