Actually up higher he does a <cfset var adduser = "" /> so he is actually returning a variable. He can solve it either using your way or by doing a <cfset adduser = qUserEmail /> before the cfreturn.
I just mention this because if he inspected the results he wouldn't get back that he was returning an instance of the component, just a simple variable. I know a lot of people who declare some sort of return variable and set it at the end just before returning.

But you're trying to return an instance of the component. You need to change one or the other. In this case, you probably want to change your CFRETURN to return the query object: <cfreturn qUserEmail> Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ http://training.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software is a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) on GSA Schedule, and provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers, online, or onsite. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:355674 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
