Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values

I have an error as listed below, I saw many references to errors like this but could not resolve. Please help.

Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values.
The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate expression result as a simple value. However, the result cannot be converted to a simple value. Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time values. Queries, arrays, and COM objects are examples of complex values.

The most likely cause of the error is that you tried to use a complex value as a simple one. For example, you tried to use a query variable in a cfif tag.

The error occurred in /usr/home/phrma2/usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/pap-dms/programs/frm_program.cfm: line 766
