Hi, Flashguy. Would you post the exact cfif statement (non-nested version)
you are using that is causing a problem and let us know what error it's
showing?
You could also use this:
<cfif isdefined("qgetdir.strOmit") AND
FindNoCase("documents",qgetdir.strOmit)>
The documents string should be wrapped in double-quotes (as above), and the
FindNoCase function will get over the problem of case-sensitivity. Also,
you can drop the "GT 0", as 0 will evaluate to false and any other number
will evaluate to true.
Hope this is useful.
Matthieu

I tried the below but it won't work?
Only the nested <cfif does?
