ColdFusion? ugh! DISCLAIMER: My only experience with it is supporting one of the (worst written) commercial apps that we host. My impression was that it was more of a templating language for Dreamweaver/Java than what I am used to. Back on topic, your latest error is a syntax error and isn't directly related to the problem you've been talking about. I was going to suggest something, but it looks like Yeti beat me to it while I was typing.
