<tip type="debugging">
when debugging, don't always trust the errors you receive.  for example,
yesterday i was working on a simple CFQUERY and kept receiving an ODBC error
22005 and the note that the CFQUERY open tag was bad (just the
<cfquery...>).  Turns out, it was the WHERE part of the SQL statement -
handling a number like a string, which was botching the whole thing.  So
just because the error output says the problem is with line 13 chars 1-12,
don't always believe it!

<tip type="troubleshooting">
first rule of troubleshooting, no matter what circumstance - diminish your
variables.  when working with code, use comments to block off everything you
don't need, add in very simple snippets to replicate the larger more
complicated problem childs.  step through variations of one or two
situations, then slowly start adding.  99 times out of a 100, your problem
will rear its head.
