Nope, have to use CFTRY..CFCATCH to do it. Rather a PITA, but such is life. Two potential alternatives: 1) don't use an array, use a struct. This works well if you don't have to fill in the gaps. 2) prepopulate the entire array with 'blanks', and the overwrite the indexes that have real values. This only works if you know how large the array is in advance. cheers, barneyb ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:183822 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
