Thank you Adam, "I" have not opened this custom tag ever. As you know I had a lockup of my computer this week and had to hard boot to recover. After that event I was unable to use the LoginForm.cfm in my application and worked with you to try and discover the cause of the error which was manifested by my CF Server pegging out. Apparently this file became corrupted at the time of the lockup and reboot. This condition was not discovered until now--by you.
Agreed, Source code control would have helped me--as it did you--as would a bullet-proof vest if worn at the time of the accident. In this case however we know I was not using Source code control at the time of the lockup/reboot. My application appears to function correctly on my local dev server. I can't explain why this corrupted file works--that is does not cause an error- on my localhost and not on the staging server. It's the same file in both places. This error is reported by CF Sever only on the staging server not on my local machine. And as such I was not able to determine the reason for the error since the file was the same in both places. Why it appears to work locally but not on the staging server, I do not know. Going forward means at least two things: 1) get source code control and 2) replacing the corrupted files. (since it may be reasonable to assume that other files may have been corrupted in the lockup and simply have not been called yet and thus caused an error. Source code control cannot at this point replace the corrupted files. Can you recommend how to best restore the corrupted files? Will copying the file from my PlumTutorials folder replace the corrupted file? Or is there another way you recommend to restore the corrupted file(s) I have run Generate Code and setup.cfm since the lockup.

As I have begged and pleaded with you many times so far, *PLEASE* institute a source code control application -- preferrably Visual SourceSafe from Microsoft. Source code control is a necessary tool for every programmer so that you can discover, eliminate, and recover from such problems on your own. It's what we used to discover your problem in about eight seconds. Please don't take this the wrong way, but we simply can't afford to support developers free of charge with such intensity when they won't support themselves with tools that are necessary to the trade. This is unfair to us as the ones who foot the support bill, and it's unfair to others on this list who are inundated with unnecessary problem posts. Note the word "unnecessary"; we are more than happy to support bona fide problems with using Plum as it is supported, and when developers are taking the necessary steps using the necessary tools to try to solve their own problems.
