you might want to read this thread on the macromedia forums relating to the datacash com object: http://urlizer.com/00/1342/ (in particular the last post) dunno if its true or not.
-----Original Message----- From: Martin Gill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 4:09 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ cf-dev ] Help - he screamed loudly :-) 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. Martin L.
