Just the persistent data. I realize the object could not be stored in the client scope. It's a shame though.
So, using client vars, I would need to create a new instance of the cfc on each page and then re-populate it with data from the client variable scope. That part I understand. But, when I move to a new page, how can I ensure that any changes to the cf's properties get saved to the client var scope. Would this have to be done in the onrequestend.cfm template? Could I check for an instance of the object in this template, and then, if it exists, save each of its available properties to the client scope? Are an objects properties available in a struct format in the calling template? myobject.properties? Brook At 01:27 PM 04/11/02 -0500, you wrote: >I said that?
