A UDF must be in the local scope. Think of it like a variable. I can't cfoutput #x# unless I defined it earlier. Now, just like variables, UDFs do not need to be on the same physical page. I can <CFINCLUDE> a template that contains the UDFs, or define them in the Application.cfm file. > 2. How do you call and use them as far as within your scripts. They act just like BIFs, or built in functions. Consider: <!--- ArrayLen is a built in func ---> <cfset foo = arrayLen(x)> <!--- countIT is a udf ----> <cfset foo = countIt(x)> ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ______________________________________________________________________ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
