When you use array notation, you can specify whatever values you like. Since CF is a typeless language, any value stored within a variable will be treated as a string when you use array notation to make it a member name for a structure. Keep in mind that the two values of foo are the same in the example below: <cfset i = 1> <cfset foo = "#i#"> <cfset foo = i> Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.
