Commenting each line of the values list (if not immediately obvious what it is) helps, but is duplication of effort and ime almost never done. I prefer to have tools that handle inserts and updates with structures -- makes them much easier for me to debug... Not cfinsert/cfupdate incidentally -- they fall in my list of things that denote a person as being inexperienced, along with -- up until now -- cfform. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
