Application.cfc (capital A!) is one of those special cases where magic happens behind the scenes so you have to use 'this' scope for the attributes that are equivalent to <cfapplication>. In pretty much all other cases you should avoid 'this' scope since it represents public instance data - and public data is a Bad Thing(tm) because it does not provide encapsulation. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://fusebox.org/ Got Gmail? -- I have 50, yes 50, invites to give away!
