Ray,
That's so odd. What you suggested wasn't very different from what I had been
attempting. However, I used the basic suggestion you outlined and it worked
the very first time.
Thanks again!
Nate

Subject: RE: Creating an Object Outside of the Webtop
Here is one way of handling creating objects:
1) On a page, have a link: href="whatever.cfm?newOb=1">
2) whatever.cfm does:
<CFIF URL.newOb>
make the object
<CFLOCATION whatever.cfm but DONT pass newob=1, pass the ID
of the new ob>
</CFIF>
3) whatever.cfm does:
<CFIF NOT URL.newOb and URL.ID>
call edit handler on the URL.ID
</CFIF>
Of course, this is pseudo-code, and is just one of many ways.
Basically, you want to do this:
Create the object and get the ID.
Call the edit handler for the ID.
If the edit handler calls a PLP, then you be calling yourself again
and
again, and you want to make sure that if you use a URL flag to say 'make a
new object' that you dont pass it again. Luckily, the CFA_PLP tag allows you
to specify what QUERYSTRING to use, so you can select what to pass in.
