This morning I came into work and started working on an application I built using cfgrid. It was displaying everything just fine on my screen, but when a coworker tried to hit it, the query data was not showing up. A dump proved that the query did exist and have records in it on his machine, cfgrid just wasnt showing the data. I went and checked, I was using firefox with flash player 8. I opened up ie that was still using flash player 7, and it didnt work. Updated it to 8, and it started working without any change to the code. Has anyone else noticed this behavior and is there a workaround? We really need this to work on 7 for the time being... Guess that goes to show you that you can't always assume that it is your code screwing up! Update: It was my code actually... I had the same name for my grid as I did for the form itself. But it wasn't throwing a compile error. And the real strange thing was that flash 8 was working fine even with the same names, but flash 7 wasn't. Very strange indeed.

Ryan, that blows. i don't use cfgrid so i can't comment on that behavior or a fix. here's a workaround though- you can use the custom tag i recently released here-> http://www.scrollinondubs.com/index.cfm/2005/8/31/CFFlashIfYouCan-custom-tag-available-and-Greg-Rewis-Breezo and specify v.8 for the flash player. you can then do what i do on my site which is to have a placeholder graphic w/ a short msg about the incompatibility and use an imagemap to link that message to the automatic upgrade on macromedia. good luck. sean

Thanks for the link Sean. I did find the solution though, I had named the grid the same as the form. But your technique will come in handy in other situations though. Thanks!
