COM and CFMX can be a tricky little beast...
I seem to remember having the same problem connecting to Outlook via
COM. I was dealing with passing an integer to get a particular contact,
or folder. In some cases you can pass an integer as long as you surround
it in single quotes:
i.e.
<cfloop from="1" to="#tmpAddressList.AddressEntries.count#"
index="entry">
<cfset thisEntry =
tmpAddressList.AddressEntries.Item('#entry#')>
<cfoutput>#thisEntry.address#<br></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
In CF5 the same code would look like this:
<cfloop from="1" to="#tmpAddressList.AddressEntries.count#"
index="entry">
<cfset thisEntry = tmpAddressList.AddressEntries.Item(#entry#)>
<cfoutput>#thisEntry.address#<br></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
In cases where this did not work I resorted to using getFirst() and
getNext() to iterate through a collection to get to the object I wanted
to use. In your case this may or may not be possible, but there may be
alternative methods you can access for the COM object that will allow
you to work around.
What type of COM object are you connecting to?
If it's a Microsoft one, you should be able to find pretty good
reference on msdn.
