I'm a bit confused by your wording - are you saying you want to return a CFC from a method? If so, the returnType will simply be the name of the CFC. In fact, if returnType is not equal to one of the known types, CF assumes you mean another CFC. As for the best way to create it - that's up to how you are using it. I normally create CFCs with createObject(). -Ray ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
