I could see that. Most of the rules in ColdFusion are just good common sense but you'll get into arguments with believers in other languages that they CLEARLY came from those languages. ColdFusion, however, follows them because they make sense, not because it has to. When new good ideas appear ColdFusion is generally willing to accept them (quickly) as there's almost nothing that it holds sacred about itself. It's also able to work with most languages pretty easily - even those traditionally at odds. Its generally much more concerned with getting the job done than with artificial limits or rules although it does respect those rules be being versatile enough to support them if you like. Lastly it's a rather contained, specialty language often misunderstood, feared or even mocked by more mainstream languages for lacking things they consider absolutely neccessary. But for those that bother to learn more about it they'll find it much more enriching than they thought possible and will often look back and wonder why they thought those things in the first place. ColdFusion is Atheism... or at least secular agnotism. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:282931 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
