Isnt this the idea of Extends? (I am probably very incorrect in this) but lets say you have a Users.cfc that does some user iinteractions, you could write a CFC that extends Users.cfc and adds/over-rides the methods for Dept B?
Maybe the requirements are much more complex but its just an idea Regards Mark Drew On Mon, 27 Dec 2004 08:50:32 -0600, Dawson, Michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If Dept B's features are similar to A's, why not add their functionality to > the same CFC?
