Thanks, I was wondering how to get the object type. I'm not a CF programmer, I'm just trying to migrate a CF MX7 app over to OpenBD 2

CFDump says it's type string and this is how it's being called.

<cfif len(request.iMemberGtwy.getHelp) GT 0><a href="##" id="link-help" title="Help"><img src="../pics/help.png" alt="Help" /></a></cfif>



I also made the change as suggested below but no joy.


Thanks
Lionel

Have you dumped ThisHelp right before you return it to see what it is?

Also this line of code doesn't make much sense:
<cfif ThisHelp GT "">

I have a feeling what you actually mean there is:
<cfif ThisHelp != "">

But at any rate, dump ThisHelp right before you return it and see what datatype it actually is. If it's definitely a string you'd have to share the code that calls that function and does the Len() so we can see what you're doing there.
