cferror question
I'm setting up a cferror template that collects the following info. INSERT INTO Errors(HTTPReferrer, Diags, Query, Page) VALUES ('#ERROR.HTTPReferer# ', '#Error.Diagnostics#', '#Error.QueryString#', '#ERROR.Template#') I'm getting a cf error saying that httpreferrer is undefined in error. Is there a setting in the cf administrator that I'm missing. I have it working on a different server.

Error importing from .xls data
Hi, I'm receiving the following error when attempting to import an .xls file. [ODBC Excel Driver] The field is too small to accept the amount of data you attempted to add. Try inserting or pasting less data. I've read that the data type is chosen by the ODBC driver based on the first 8 records and it appears this may be creating the problem. This Excel workbook has 7 sheets, I've moved the longest columns of each to column B thinking this would solve the problem but hasn't. I'm using cffile for the upload then running cfquery on it to get the results. This application has worked in the past but I have two spreadsheets that are causing an identical problem.

Some Flash form text fields displaying white text using Vista
Hi All, I discovered something strange with flash cfform this morning. Some of the text fields which are populated by the database are displaying the text in white while others in black, the white text is invisible on the white background. This issue appears to be related to MS Vista as I have tested on three separate machines running vista with both Firefox and IE7 and had the issue with different versions of Flash Player installed. I have not been able to replicate this issue using XP. Here are two of the form fields, one displays text in white the other black. They look identical to me. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Is there a tag I can use on my page to ignore an application.cfc in the root directory? Additionally, how many directories above the page being called will CF travel to look for an application.cfc or .cfm file? Will it look keep going until it reaches the server root directory? Thanks!

Re: setting var inside cffunction
Thanks for the help Charlie, I've used aliasing to change my collumn names in this way: But I am unable to output the new table data associated with the new column names after I invoke the component. Cfdump does work and displays the collumn names as DBADDRESS AS ADDRESS etc. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

setting var inside cffunction
I posted a question yesterday about using cfset inside cffunction and received help, thanks! I've moved my cfsets above my cfldap query (which corrected my initial issue) but problem is the returned values from the cfldap query don't appear to be being set. Perhaps because the cfsets occur in the lines above the cfldap query? I've tested this by doing a cfdump just under invoking the component on another page. The variables returned are the ldap names not the new vars I was attempting to rename them to. I've pasted a portion of yesterdays thread below to make so you have an idea what's happening in my function. Thanks! John --- you have to place your var scoped variables at the top of the function. in this case, you'd do something like: (etc) above your call.

Re: form data not being inserted into mssql database
Thanks all. Carl, does cfparam as you described discretely tell CF and SQL that the insert is a numerical data type? In what instances is that advised? Why is it necessary? I've isolated the issue to a server memory problem, I believe, and solved it (I hope) by restarting the server. Thank you all for your help. >John, > >You might want to try using CFQUERYPARAM in your insert query.

Re: form data not being inserted into mssql database
Unfortunately the failed inserts are random for different users, unique fields, it's a pretty large application.

Re: form data not being inserted into mssql database
That's correct, worse still, the issue seems random. I've had other users who have been unsuccessful at submitting variables which have worked for me each time I've tested. At first I thought it might be a session issue, but the example above is a form variable. For some reason Cum_GPA isn't making it into the table and as I mentioned before I did a count on all of the table Cum_GPA = '' and only found three of 200+ entries which were null. It's a required field. I'm not sure where to start. I've combed the release notes for the two coldfusion updates, but nothing jumps out at me which might be a cause.

CUM_GPA does pass with on the action page. I am inserting other records with this insert statement, I left them out of my post for clarity.

form data not being inserted into mssql database
Hi All, I'm maintaining a Coldfusion Application which is storing form data in an MSSQL database. We've recently received complaints from users that not all form data is being inserted to the database. The issue appears to be random. I've tested 4 times and found that only one of my fields is not inserting. I've checked the form field name, insert statement, table name and everything checks out there. The field I am attempting to insert is one number. Out of 279 records, only 3 have not inserted into this field. There are a couple of months between each of these insert dates. I've flooded other fields with paragraphs of text, which insert fine. We've recently (within the last month) applied both Microsoft and Coldfusion updates to the server. Any ideas?
