Hi Mike, Thanks, for your response, this sounds cool. Ok, So let me understand this a bit more (sorry for my ignorance). I have about 10 different cfc's which all do various forms of cfldap quires, do you have an example on how you do this, I have not worked much with using a application scope other than to do session variables.
