So, when I want to use a try/catch in a function, I usually do it like this:
<cfunction> <cfargument> <cfset var > <cftry> do stuff <cfcatch> <cfreturn cfcatch> </cfcatch <cfreturn intededReturnVariable> </cffunction> This way, if I do catch an error I'm returning the cfcatch info. I guess you will have to do something a little different since you're returntype is set to query. I guess you could create a query object from the cfcatch information to return. Also, you're just doing an output-style dump, but your cffunction tag has output="false". I'm thinking that's not what you want to do. --Ferg Bryan Stevenson wrote: >OK...I give up....here's the code: > > <cffunction name="getHail" access="remote" returntype="query" >output="false" hint="Retrieves a core hail out record (hail >numbers/licences/trip types/periods can be retrieved via other available >methods).
