If your not sure if emessage[1] exists couldn�t you use <cfif isdefined(emessage[1].ecode)>It ezists</cfif>
I'd also use len(Trim(form.field)) for the field checks (personally) What you have now accepts spaces as valid entries (but maybe you want it to) -----Original Message----- From: Harold Brauer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 2:47 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Checking For The Existence Of A Struct In An Array I am working on my UDF for checking a form. I have several fields that are required and other error checking methods to make sure e mail is correct and birthdate is enter in the right format etc etc. The problem I am having is finding out if a certain structure exists in my array. If it does I want to hightlight the field and display a message. I have attached the code below. I really need some help with this.
