Hi Ray, Thanks for your reply.
Yes I could use a cfmapping, however .... I'm a bit confused as I thought the cfmappings were for accessing files outside the web root or its sub-directories. I read "By default, ColdFusion MX defines a mapping for the web root (/). You can define additional mappings to allow access to pages outside of the web root." So I don't understand why I can't use this default mapping- I realise I can't bit I also realise I need to understand why. I created a cfmapping pointing to a directory inside the webroot of the application called /gallerycomponents. Then I tried running the cfinvoke as follows, but it appears I have some syntax wrong. <cfinvoke component="/gallerycomponents/functions.cfc" method="getTags"> I read up in your book, CF 7 Construction Kit, that a mapping can be used when invoking the component, but there wasn't a syntax example using a mapping.
