As Matt correctly pointed out, cfparam is runtime validation not compile-time type checking. It turns out that there are bigger optimizations than type checking (I'm not saying what :) and that whilst type checking would provide some (noticeable) benefits, the effort would be pretty big to implement it. If you're at DevCon, chat to Edwin about this sort of stuff... :) Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/blog/ "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
