I agree with Larry that you can't always get to a collection the way you
want to. My solution was to wrap the com object in a VB com object. Then
set the Get properties of the VB com object with the variables you read from
the collection. This may not solve every problem you can come up with, but
it worked for me.
My CF code looked like this when reading a collection.
<!--- Create XMLRead object. Registry key listed below --->
<!--- XMLRead.ClsOpenXML --->
<CFOBJECT
TYPE="COM"
ACTION="CREATE"
NAME="oXML"
CLASS="XMLRead.ClsOpenXML">
<!--- Pass the complete path to the XML file to be opened --->
<CFSET oXML.ReadXML ("D:\1234.xml")>
<!--- Using Object.Property set local variables for loan acceptance --->
<CFSCRIPT>
Variables.APR = oXML.APR;
Variables.CAID = oXML.CAID;
Variables.Loan_Amount = oXML.Loan_Amount;
Variables.Monthly_Payment = oXML.Monthly_Payment;
Variables.Notes = oXML.Notes;
Variables.Response = oXML.Response;
Variables.Term = oXML.Term;
</CFSCRIPT>

Subject: Re: Is there anything that ASP can do and CF cannot?
Another thing I've heard (I don't know the exact objects - are you reading
this Chris?) is that CF can't get beyond the first dot in COM objects:
myObj.someCollection[1].subCollection[1].item

I was just wondering if there is something that cannot
be done in CF and can be done in ASP? Has anyone
encountered such an instance.
My understanding is that Active Server Pages (ASP) are
theoretically equivalent to Cold Fusion Pages but
using Microsoft proprietary programming. My guess is
that we can do the same thing with Cold Fusion what we
can do in ASP.It wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft has
placed barriers to using other environments with its
products such as MS SQL Server.
