I have seen this error message on two frequent occasions when people have presented it. The two possibilities are: 1. You use session variables or client variables without enabling them if your CFAPPLICATION tag. Seeing as your error is with a CFPARAM, this is not likely, though I do notice that you do not enable either of those two scopes in your CFAPPLICATION tag. 2. You are using a CF reserved word. Looking at the line that's throwing the error, I think that webroot is a reserved word. Try changing the variable name and see what that does for you. Also, I assume that the directory references you make are virtual mappings in CF Administrator? You can't refer to a directory that is not virtually mapped by typing "/emis" ... you would have to type "./emis" or whatever the relative path is to that directory. Hope this helps, Dave. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com ______________________________________________________________________ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
