Andy, I know that you already found a solution, but you might want to ake a peek at this one. I never used mapped paths and here is a solution that I have used before:

Thanks a lot for finding it! andy -----Original Message----- From: Doug Bezona [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 1:49 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Referencing a CFC above the calling file. No, it's quite relevant. >From the docs: "If you use a cfinvoke or cfobject tag, or the CreateObject function, to access the CFC from a CFML page, ColdFusion searches directories in the following order: 1. Local directory of the calling CFML page 2. Web root 3. Directories specified on the Custom Tag Paths page of ColdFusion MX Administrator" Note #2 - if it doesn't find it in the directory of the calling page, it next starts at the web root and works from there. If the component is outside of the web root, you're out of luck without a mapping - you can't do the equivalent of ../. All of the lookups are forward only. > -----Original Message----- > From: Andy Matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, February 05, 2007 2:36 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Referencing a CFC above the calling file. > > Well, it's sort of irrelevant that it's outside the web root (or is it). > The > important thing is that the CFC exists ABOVE the calling page.
