The cfdirectory is below:

<cfdirectory
  action = "">   directory = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\RMG\events"
  name = "getFiles"
  filter = "_#date#-#id#*.cfm"
  sort = "name"
  >

If I do a #ListLen(eventFiles)#

I get the complex object type error.

An abbreviated cfdump is below:

     ATTRIBUTES DATELASTMODIFIED MODE NAME SIZE TYPE

_2004-44-brochure.cfm  79  File

  what happens if you cfdump the results, doesnt it look like a query?

  can you valueList() the getDirectory_QueryName.fileName

  or whatever the variable is called to get a list?

  Subject: using the result of CFDIRECTORY as a list

  I'm using CFDIRECTORY to get a list of files that meet certain
  parameters.

  Sometimes one of the file doesn't exist. And here's the trouble. I can't
  seem to use CFDIRECTORY as a list. I keep getting the "complex object
  type" error.

  I can produce a list of a files that should exist, I would like to
  compare that to the files that do exist.

  Been spinning my wheels on this one.
