But my code demonstrated the values of the variables using CFOUTPUT Their values are 51 & 50.
Then on the next line how could they change? I guess I wasn't clear. Here is my exact code: =============================== <cfoutput> #VARIABLES.start# <br> #REQUEST.LISTINGS.MAXROWS# </cfoutput> <cfset variables.end = variables.start + request.listings.maxrows - 1> =============================== The output statement above demonstrates that variables.start=51 and request.listings.maxrows=50 right before these two variables are used in the CFSET Why the error? best, paul At 03:03 PM 12/18/02 -0500, you wrote: >LOL... there's a possibility that it may not be interpreting one of your >variables as a numeric value ...
