CFC question

Thanks for the replies Dan and Mamdoh.
I enabled Robust Exception Information in the cf administrator.

I changed the code and realized that I get an error for some reason with an image as the submit button. I changed it. I now get the following error which is what you were saying the CFCPASSWORD is not passed. Why not? Thanks:

The parameter CFCPASSWORD to function adduser is required but was not passed in.


The error occurred in C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\CFIDE\REGISTERING\index.cfm: line 27

25 : method="adduser"
26 : returnVariable="adduser"
27 : cfcUsername="#form.username#">

I noticed that the cfinvoke tag is missing one variable which is cfcPassword. Also, I will suggest to revise your code to be like this

<!--- if the username already exists then return that result--->
<cfif not isDefined("checkusername.recordCount")>

<!--- the username doesn`t exist so enter user´s details and return that >
<cfquery name="newUser" datasource="SecurityDB" username="root" password="riveravon">
INSERT INTO security (username, password, activationcode)
VALUES ('#form.username#', '#form.password#', '#variables.verificationKey#')
</cfquery>
<cfset checkusername.recordCount = 0/>

</cfif>
<cfreturn checkusername.recordCount />

OR

<cfif isDefined("checkusername.recordCount") and checkusername.recordCount>
<cfreturn 1 />

<cfelse>
<!--- the username doesn`t exist so enter user´s details and return that >
<cfquery name="newUser" datasource="SecurityDB" username="root" password="riveravon">
INSERT INTO security (username, password, activationcode)
VALUES ('#form.username#', '#form.password#', '#variables.verificationKey#')
</cfquery>

<cfreturn 0 />
</cfif>

Good Luck
