That was it! Thanks Josh and Mark.
Ok... concerning createObject, etc.
I tried again with this line:
<cfset managers = createObject("component",
"c21-ar-sm-homesite.components.manager_authorization").init(application.dsn) />
but I got this error:
The method init was not found in component
E:\Inetpub\webroot\c21-ar-sm-homesite\components\manager_authorization.cfc.
How do I write the "init" method for the db in the component?
(And by the way, where should the line I wrote above, "<cfset managers...",
but put? In the cfc? In my application.cfm? In the calling page?
