    Chances are that you have put pound signs(#) where you shouldn't have. Check each occurrence of #.

    For example, make sure you have

    <cfgrid query = "myQuery">

    and not

    <cfgrid query = "#myQuery#">.

    Also, <cfgridupdate grid = "myGridName" dataSource = "myDatasourceName">

    and not

    <cfgridupdate grid = "#myGridName#" dataSource = "#myDatasourceName#">

    The error means you're trying to use something like a struct, array, query or object in a way that one con only use a simple (read: something that will automatically cast to a string).

    EG: &lt;cfoutput&gt;#myArray#&lt;/cfoutput&gt;

    You need to change your code to reference a string value within the complex object.
