Ok I've narrowed the problem down a little.   The error is generated by
having non-numeric information in the 'postcode' field.  (It's a varchar
field in the database so there's no problem with that I think).  I don't
think we need to have the postcode restricted to numeric data at source -
what if someone wants to put 'N/A' in the postcode field?

Anyway, there are several queries on different tables and datasources, and
the resulting queries are merged into one temporary query to be processed
with a QofQ.  The query is created with the following:

[quote]

<cfset thislist = Querynew("email, firstname, lastname, StreetAddress,
Suburb, Postcode, source, newsletter, emailsent")>

[/quote]

Why would this query hiccup if non-numeric info is put into the 'postcode'
field in the query?  I thought ColdFusion was typeless?   I would have
thought a queryofquery wouldn't care if there was numeric  data in the
'postcode' field or not.    Am I wrong on that?    And what do I do about
it?



Cheers

Subject: RE: QofQ problem - can you see what i've got wrong here please?

So does anyone know what would be causing this error message?  I'm not even
sure what to be looking for.   It seems to be complaining about a field with
a series of semicolons (;) in it but there aren't any in the database, or in
the code.

Any hints about what it means?

The error is:  ";;;;" must be interprettable as a valid number in the
current locale"
