That is a crazy error... I would erase the few lines of code that actually call the chkMDSInventory() method and rewrite them... Sometimes that works for me for crazy errors.

I have a cfc which contains a method that checks inventory levels. Its defined as: <cffunction name="chkMDSInventory" access="remote" returntype="boolean"> <cfargument name="productid" type="numeric" required="yes"> <cfargument name="orderitemqty" type="numeric" required="yes"> ....... <cfreturn hasMDSInv> </cffunction> I've used this in my code before with no issues at all. So, I go to use it in another part of the site via the following snippet of code: <!--- Instantiate inventory checker - Inventory.cfc ---> <cfset invOBj = createObject("component","com.inventory.inventory").init() /> <cfquery name="getProductInfo" datasource="#request.ds#"> Select ProductID from products where sku = <cfqueryparam value="#trim( evaluate( variables.sku ) )#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR"> </cfquery> <cfif NOT invObj.chkMDSInventory( getProductInfo.productid, variables.thisquantity )> <cfset groundShipOnly = true> </cfif> When I run this, I get an error back saying: "The argument PRODUCTID passed to function chkMDSInventory() is not of type numeric." Now, I've verified that both getProductInfo.productid & variables.thisquantity are numeric by using the isNumeric CF function and they are numeric values. But it still throws this error. The code above is almost exactly to code that I use in another part of the site which performs perfectly. Now here's the kicker. If I change the code to this: <cfset pid = Numberformat( getProductInfo.productid )> <cfset pQty = Numberformat( variables.thisquantity )> <cfif NOT invObj.chkMDSInventory( variables.pid, variables.pQty )> <cfset groundShipOnly = true> </cfif> it works just fine! I'm stumped. I have no idea why isNumeric() would report the values as numeric but the CFC's method won't especially when this same code works just fine in another part of the site. Any ideas?
