Dear All,

Sorry to break the silence but I have a bit of a dilemma with CFOBJECT. I am trying to 
call an object on the server using the fillowing code.

      <CFOBJECT TYPE="COM" CLASS="DataCash.XMLTransaction" ACTION="Create" 
NAME="objDataCash">
      <CFSET dummyvar = objDataCash.start( FORM.configpath )>

But I get the following error;


Error Diagnostic Information
An error occurred while evaluating the expression: 
  dummyvar = objDataCash.start( configpath )
Error near line 22, column 8.

The symbol you have provided (objDataCash.start) is not the name of a function. 
Built-in functions in ColdFusion have names with no qualifiers, i.e., no periods (.) 
in them.


I know the object is on the system and works because an example that I have can use 
asp to access it. 

      configpath = Request.Form.Item("configpath")
      set datacash = CreateObject("DataCash.XMLTransaction")
      datacash.start( configpath )

In some ways it would be logical to go with the asp solution but I don't know enough 
about asp to support it and the system has to be ultra-stable.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, because this is doing my head in - and not in a 
good way.
