help with code please in MX 7?

Hello i've upgraded my Cold Fusion version to MX7 from Cold
fusion 5 and runing into some problems with some of the code that
worked fine under 5 right off the bat.

I get the following message below. The Backend is a 4th
dimension Database. Any help would be appreciated i am not a Cold
fusion developer so i'm trying to figure out if its worth the
update to MX7 or not.. if everything has to be re-written it most
likely would not be but if this is an easy fix it just might!!
thanks:



Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values.

The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate
expression result as a simple value, however, the result cannot be
converted to a simple value. Simple values are strings, numbers,
boolean values, and date/time values. Queries, arrays, and COM
objects are examples of complex values.



The most likely cause of the error is that you are trying to
use a complex value as a simple one. For example, you might be
trying to use a query variable in a %26lt;CFIF%26gt; tag. This was
possible in ColdFusion 2.0 but creates an error in later versions.



The error occurred in
E:\InetPub\wwwroot\cfdocs\msquared\LoggedIn.cfm: line 22

'URL' is a protected structure variable in MX 7. You can not
use it as

a value like you are doing in line 22. I am not sure what
that line is

trying to do, so I can not easily guess what the solution
would be. But

most likely it would be just to change the 'URL' variable
name

throughout your application to something more unique.

Hi Ian thanks for responding! on this page its trying to
retreive an email address and password. So if i were to change
anywhere that im using URL as a value to something else like PageID
so in this case the line would read: %26lt;CFSET Stuff = PageID %26amp;
''Login/#PageIDEncodedFormat(Stuff)#%26gt; i might be ok... in this
case? thanks again for the explanation!
