no no
you need to prefix the variables inside your customtag
ok
you have a file called "myPage.cfm" and another page called "customTag.cfm"
which is the customtag
from "myPage.cfm" you call your custom tag like this
<cf_customTag>
thats all fine
no when you pass values into you customtag like
<cf_customTag myName="Steve">
the "customTag.cfm" file recieves a scope of values called "Attributes".
Just say you wanted to output the myName value inside your customtag, you
would need to do the following
<cfoutput>#Attributes.myName#</cfoutput>
So in your case you would do the following
CFM Page
-------------------------------------------------------------------
<cf_selectoffices SelectedOfficeID="#SelectedOfficeID#" Debug="true">
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Customtag (SelectOffices.cfm)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
<cfif isDefined("Attributes.Debug")>
<cfdump var="#Attributes#"><cfabort>
</cfif>
<cfquery name="getOfficeLocs" datasource="mydata">
SELECT YOfficeID AS SelectedOfficeID, OfficeName
FROM YesOffices
WHERE Active = 1
ORDER BY OfficeName
</cfquery>
<cfquery name="getSelectedOffice" datasource="mydata">
SELECT YOfficeID AS SelectedOfficeID, OfficeName
FROM YesOffices
WHERE Active = 1
AND Yofficeid=#Attributes.SelectedOfficeID#
</cfquery>
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that when you use values being passed into a customtag within tha
customtag its self, you have to prefix the variables with the "Attributes"
prefix
Make sense?

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.
