RE: What in the world is CF8 trying to say?
Well...with CF8 also supports C++ CFX tagsso shouldn't be a problem. I believe, as far as, C++ datatypes are properly typecastd by CF, there shouldn't be any problem using them. I would suggest you to refer the documentation for CF8, as it will have History of changes done and may explain you how it should be used. But since you are directly jumping from the CF4.5 to CF8, there might have been some change around this.

That kind of error normally occurs when you try to access a variable as a

Like
cfset testVar = {} /
cfoutput#testVar['one']['two']

Thanks for the feedback, Jayesh.
It's must be Image.Link# since that's a variable
used by the CFX_Tag.
Would the fact that the CFX_tag, CFX_JPG, is a
C++ tag cause any problems?

Error Occurred While Processing Request
You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable
of type class coldfusion.sql.QueryColumn as a
structure with members.
Huh
The code I was processing that threw the error is:
34 : div id=annPhoto
35 : CFX_JPG Source=#GAP##Get_Announcements.Image#
36 : Img Src=/_cache/#Image.Link# width=100 border=1
37 : /div
I get this sinking feeling that it's because I'm trying to use the
CFX_JPG
tag from
Efflare that I've been using with CF 4.5 for many years.
Someone please tell CFX_JPG is compatible with CF8!
I've used that tag on almost all of my site and I don't want to have to
rewrite all that code!

Re: What in the world is CF8 trying to say?
I think the problem is with #Image.Link#. I suppose that Image is a structure returned by CFX_JPG? But if you are inside a CFOUTPUT loop on query Get_Announcements., then Image is also a column in the query, and CF tries to get to the element .Link inside Image, which does not work. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: What in the world is CF8 trying to say?
A way around things like this without renaming things is to just scope it. We ran into a similar problem going to I think it was CF6 when part of some applications did #URL# and all we had to do was go in there and put queryName.URL and was fixed. Of course one could argue that the names of things should not be so generic which could hopefully prevent the possibility of referencing a variable name that later turns into a reserved word or is used for something else. Now in this particular case I am guessing Image is something returned by the CFX_JPG tag and that tag is putting it into the local variables scope, so could try referencing it as #Variables.Image.Link# and if that works then a mass find replace on #Image. with #Variables.Image. would probably fix all instances in the application(s).

Re: What in the world is CF8 trying to say?
Just reread this, figured I'd clarify, I do not think scoping Image in this instance would fix it but certainly could try it. Was not aware of Image being used for something specific in 8, but guess perhaps scoping it might avoid a conflict with something else in the code on the page and not seen in the snippet. Probably the tag itself not liking the newer version of CF, honestly if I relied so heavily on a custom tag then I'd done some heavy testing with it prior to spending the money to upgrade versions.

RE: What in the world is CF8 trying to say?
AHPhosting.net... found their ad right on the houseoffusion website. I highly recommend it. I've been running my own server since CF 4.5 and this gives me complete control over the OS, installing/deleting software, settings, database, and CF 8 admin. It's cheaper that what I pay now just for my connection to the Internet.

RE: What in the world is CF8 trying to say?
Most of the sites I'm running on my server now are due for an update. So I'll be bringing them along slowly and hopefully rebuilding them as I migrate them anyway. I hope there won't be too many issues.

RE: What in the world is CF8 trying to say?
This kind of errors are usually seen when there is a specific type of datatype used for a wrong reason or purpose. Although I can not run your code on my machine, I would like to give some pointers which may help you. Error message says that a datatype which is QueryColumn type is being used as a structure datatype which is wrong. Any of the below three variables are not returning the expected kind of data #GAP# - #Get_Announcements.Image# - #Image.Link# Thanks Regards, Jayesh Viradiya Adobe CF Team -Original Message- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2007 8:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: What in the world is CF8 trying to say?
