Why not CFTRY a simple verity search based on the collection you want to check and create it in the CFCATCH section if it does indeed fail.

Other than knowing beforehand by having created manually, does anyone know of a way to check for the existance of a collection. Like no point running cfindex if the collection doesn't exist, so let's check, and if no, let's create with cfcollection. I need to create and index collections dynamically.
