Glad you got it resolved. Quick question, how were you calling this CFC?
was it being called from a cfm page?
As per your email, there was this code
<cffunction name="callingFunction">
<cfargument name="formInfo" />
Let us know 1)how you were initiating the CFC i.e. cfobject or createobject
or cfinvoke and 2) how you were calling this callingFunction?
p.s this is one of those cases where in only actual code can tell what is
going on, any pseudo code is just a pointer. But Iunderstand, there are
rules and issues with sharing some code.
Thanks,
