Looping over Nested Structure

Hey Guys,
I have a component that returns a structure. The structure is called ContactQuery. ContactQuery has to elements, one called Results, and one called Success. Results contains the data I want to loop over. If you try looping over the ContactQuery by using CFLoop and specify the ContactQuery as the collection, of course it only loops twice (once for Results, once for Success). How can I loop over the Results structure withing ContactQuery? You can see the dump of the structure at:
http://www.digitalswordsmen.com/cfschedule/admin/Create_Tokens_Table.cfm

Attached is the code I have. I am just unsure of the syntax for looping over the Results section of the structure.

Thank you.

It looks like it is query. Did you try a regular query loop?

<cfloop query="ContactQuery.Results">
...
</cfloop>

Nope. I am dumb and didn't really think about it. The fact that it is a query nested in a structure threw me off. The code that works was

<cfloop query="ContactQuery.Results">


<tr>
<td></td><td>#firstname#</td><td>#lastname#</td><td>#email#</td><td>#randrange(10000,99999)#</td>
</tr>

</cfloop>

Thanks for the help, sorry about that dumb question.

Can you dump the Results object? The test page just shows an error "Variable USERNAME is undefined"

Oh Sorry about that.
I set the username and pass in an application.cfm in another dir. Copied it over to that dirs application.cfm. You should be able to run it now.

Try using ContactQuery.Results instead of ContactQuery. Though it is not clear whether "Results" is a structure or a query object.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Using
<cfloop collection="#ContactQuery.Results#" item="i">
Yields and error. I did try that first, since it made sense to me that it should work. However it does not. Not real sure why. Maybe you are onto something when you mentioned you were unsure if it was a structure or a query object.
