try quotes around the argument passed to DE.
DE(struct.keyname) should be DE('struct.keyname')mike -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Sherwood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 2:36 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: IIF() and IsDefined() Help: #IIF(StructKeyExists(struct, 'keyname'),DE(struct.keyname),DE('no key'))# .........fails if the key is not present. BUT, <cfif StructKeyExists(struct, 'keyname')> #struct.keyname# <cfelse> no key </cfif> doesn't. Am I missing something about IIF() and DE()? It looks as if both DE() expressions must be "evaluateable", and the IIF() just decides which one to evaluate? Correct?
