That's okay, we all start somewhere. Most of the time you can reference a variable name without its scope and ColdFusion will find it for you. See the scope priority list to see how ColdFusion searches through the scopes to find variable references: http://fusiongrokker.com/post/scope-priority-changes-in-coldfusion-9 The request, application, and session scopes are not searched, however, and need to be referenced directly as you discovered. It's always considered good practice to explicitly scope all variable references to make your code more readable and prevent unexpected errors and collisions. -Justin Scott ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-newbie/message.cfm/messageid:5754 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-newbie/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-newbie/unsubscribe.cfm
