It should still work. I just tested it on my single developer version of MX and it works fine.
I know you didn't ask for opinion on this, but I can't resist; my personal preference is to use "longhand" for things like this, for a couple of reasons: code readablity, and the fact that some less experienced developers get confused about this (I know, shameful, but true).
By the way, are you getting a specific error, or is it just evaluating to false? Could be that there are indeed no records in the "Whatever" query.

Subject: [thelist] ColdFusion MX and CFIF notation
In ColdFusion 5, this:
<CFIF Whatever.RecordCount>
used to be the equivalent of:
<CFIF Whatever.RecordCount GT 0>
However, in ColdFusion MX, this no longer appears to be the case. The
exact opposite appears to be true. Does MX change this rule so that <CFIF
Whatever.RecordCount> is checking for the existence of the variable, rather
than a non-zero value of that variable?
If so, why?
(I've done some Googling on this and came up with nothing...)
