Hi Barry
When I try <cfset delim = chr(35) /> <cfset tempData["command"]= "delim + 'reboot' + delim + delim + url.imei + delim + '1212'"> Without the “ at start and end I get an error message cannot sum # With “ at start and end all that is passed is delim Some background the code is in a cfc that my iphone app calls to generate a dynamic value that is passed back to the iphone code and then the iphone code outputs the value in the body of an sms Now the process works perfectly and the sms is created as required for all other command its just now that I am needing to include the # which conflicts with cf that a problem has risen NB: TrackingCentral is now a registered product & services provider for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, under the category of Assisted Technology Regards Claude Raiola Director TrackingCentral Pty.
