Just because I perfer not to rely on CFTRY/CFCATCH, here are some options:
1. Do a DirectoryExists() to see if the collection name exists as a
directory whereever you keep your collections. All collections get a
new dir that holds all it's data.
2. Do a registry call (CF 5) or an XML file call (CFMX) to read the
admin settings for the collections.
3. Use the factory object to access a list of all collections. This is
the best, but last resort as the factory object is not supported
outside the admin and is a major security risk.

Hello all,



I would like to create a collection if it is not already defined.  How

can I do that?



i.e.

<cfif NOT isDefined(collection.mycollection)>

    <cfcollection ...>

</cfif>



thanx -

  Frank
