Why am I getting this error when my code looks like this?

Cannot find CFML template for custom tag UPSPrice.
ColdFusion attempted looking in the tree of installed custom tags but did not find a custom tag with this name. If you are using per-applica

<Cfif NOT form.shipzip IS "">
<CF_UPSPrice SERVICE="#form.upsshiptype#" FROM="#shopshipzip#" TO="#FORM.shipzip#" WEIGHT="#getshipweight.totwei#">
<cfelse>
<CF_UPSPrice SERVICE="#form.upsshiptype#" FROM="#shopshipzip#" TO="#FORM.zip#" WEIGHT="#getshipweight.totwei#">
</cfif>

    So I put this in the if statement?

    <cfif isValid("zipcode", form.shipzip) and isValid("zipcode", getshipweight.totwei)>

    To validate the weight try this to check that the value is numeric and greater than zero.

    What if you use cfmodule?

    Not sure how to use it correctly. I have tried, but I think I am doing something wrong.

    It sounds like the CF server is unable to find UPSPrice.cfm file.

    You have a couple of options
    1. Use cfmodule to invoke the tag.  This will allow you to explictly tell CF where to find UPSPrice.cfm using the template attribute.

    2. Save your UPSPrice.cfm file in the ColdFusion8\CustomTags directory or the same directory as the calling page, or specify another location in the CF administrator.  See the topic "Creating and Using Custom CFML Tags" in the ColdFusion documentation.

    If you've tried CFMODULE without success please post:
    1. Your code.
    2. Your directory structure.
    3. Any mappings configured for your application.
    4. The error messages, if any, you receive.
