The attributes scope is inside the custom tag and not in the call.
You call the tag like this
<cf_selectoffices SelectedOfficeID="#SelectedOfficeID#" Debug="true">
Within the tag you must use the attributes scope.
It's always good also to do checking that the required parameters are passed
through as well. You can get the syntax for this from CF studio if you still
use it. Use the custom tag wizard. It will produce the following output.
<!--- optional attributes --->
<!--- required attributes --->
<CFLOOP index="Attribute" list="SelectedOfficeID">
<CFIF not IsDefined( 'Attributes.' & Attribute )>
<HR>
<H4>Missing Attribute</H4>
You need to specify a value for the
'<B><CFOUTPUT>#Attribute#</CFOUTPUT></B>' attribute. This attribute is
required for the <B>SelectedOfficeID</B> tag.
<HR>
<CFABORT>
</CFIF>
</CFLOOP>

Hi Steve and Ryan
Still no difference.
Steve, I've inserted the diagnostic code as the top, but CF isn't even
getting that far. It's still stopping at the tag call i.e. :
"
<cf_selectoffices SelectedOfficeID="#attributes.SelectedOfficeID#"
Debug="true"> "
The word "attributes" makes no difference.
