I should add, in case anyone else runs into this, that the error CF reported 
was for the cfinvoke line. But the actual problem was down inside the 
component.

Actually, I finally tracked it down. It was due to a CFHTTP tag inside the CFC 
that had two method attributes on it.

Re: Duplicate attribute error

2011-07-14 Thread Russ Michaels 

Do you have an attribute called method in the CFC ?
method is a reserved word as it is used to specify the Method in the CFC you
want to call, so you cannot have your own attribute called method as well.

I know this is a really old thread, but I have a customer that is getting this 
error and same situation, there doesn't seem to be any reason for it. Did you 
ever figure this out (or does anyone else know what the cause might be?)

NCDevCon Call for Presentations

2011-07-14 Thread Roger Austin 

  NCDevCon has been announced for September 17-18, 2011. The call
for presentation is underway so please submit something if you would
like to be considered. The URL of the blog on presentations is at:

Presentations from new speakers would be very welcome as well as the
more experienced so don't be shy.

Registration is open too. There will be an admission charge this year
of $60 which is different than in the past. That covers all the lunches, 
t-shirt, and drinks/snacks. There is an explanation of why
there is a charge this year on the site.

There will be a number of tracks including the normal Adobe stack
stuff, but also some additional tracks including web, mobile,
front-end, etc.

 for more information. See you in Raleigh!

Re: Adobe Solution?

2011-07-14 Thread Andrew Scott 

ColdFusion 7/8/9 does have DDX built in that could do the job, the server
can be sitting as a local intranet and is another cheaper alternative. Once
you use DDX to pull the data out you can then do anything you want with the
data, like stick it into a god forbid access database.

Personally I would be more inclined to use either mySql or SQL Server
embeded as the RDBMS database.

Re: Adobe Solution?

2011-07-14 Thread Russ Michaels 

so when you say it cannot be web based, do you just mean it cannot be a form
filled in via the browser rather than web based, otherwise any of the
proposed solutions are still web based as they transmit data ove rthe web,
even email.

RE: Adobe Solution?

2011-07-14 Thread Kevin Parker 

I haven’t looked up the exact details but you can do this with a simple PDF
form modified accordingly in Live Cycle Designer and email (the customer end
only needs the reader). This option will let you return a limited number of
responses - I think it's about 100 to 500 (Adobe do this so if you want a
whiz bang solution you have to fork out heaps on Live Cycle itself) and I
think it dumps it into a spreadsheet or at worst a CSV file. If I had little
more time I'd research it a bit better for you Scott.

I apologize in advance since this isn't a CF question, but I'm desperate and
hoping this is at least an Adobe question.  A client of mine wants to create
a form for users to fill out electronically.  He then wants to take their
responses (attached via email) and upload the data to an Access 2007
database.  He absolutely does not want this to be web-based.  He ideally
wanted me to create an interactive form in PDF.  I thought, "Sure, no
problem."  The problems I'm running into?  Importing PDF data into Access
appears to involve an extra step (converting the PDF to text or XML or
Excel) which he/the client would have to do (since he's the one getting the
returned forms).  Worse is that he wants some multi-select drop-down lists
in the form and I'm not seeing a way to do this in a PDF (I've played around
with both Acrobat Pro and LiveCycle Designer).  And without VBA skills I
don't have, I'm not even seeing how to do this in an Excel or Word
 form.  I'm getting stuck and turn to you kind sirs for your advice.  How
would you do this?
