I am using ASP/COM on a Commerce Server 2k site.  I am
trying to use the ExpressionEvaluator to evaluate a
target expression.

When the expression is related to non-profile data (such
as date), it properly returns true and false.

When the expression is related to profile data (such as
logon_name), it returns null.  I have ensured that there
is a profile in the dictionary being passed into eval,
and have tested retrieving the GeneralInfo.logon_name
property from the profile in the dictionary.  I was able
to retrieve it without a problem.

EVERY campaign expression (created in BizDesk) that I
test returns null when related to profile data.

Why is this happening?  Any ideas?  There are no errors
being  return by the eval function.

Thank you,
Hal

How are you passing in the user profile?  If I remember correctly, you pass
it in to the evaluator via the dictionary under the key "UserObject", with
the value being the profile object itself.
