Can you give an example of the xml and tell us which line it is happening on?
The error is probably either happening here: <CFSET Variables.xml_rootname="#stConvertedDom.document.root.name#"> or <CFIF Variables.xml_rootname IS "Something> It could be CF is seeing the quotes and trying to convert stConvertedDom.document.root.name to a string, which it isn't. If it gets past there, comparing it to the string "Something" is where it is happening. If it's happening here, try cfdump on Variables.xml_rootname, it should become obvious what to reference. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Friday, July 25, 2003, 3:04:49 PM, you wrote: ct> We are switching to CFMX from CF 5.
