I'm told that at one point in time it was recommended that you could use cfinclude within a CFC method and the include would share variables with the CFC, but that hasn't been the case at least since the beta of the first version of MX. Since then the variables scope in your CFC is separate from the variables scope of your calling page and afaik there's not a good/convenient way to bridge that gap. In an OO purist sense this is a good thing, because it preserves encapsulation... I would imagine the easiest workaround for you is going to be to use the request scope instead of the variables scope for data used by your included files. Another alternative would be to make your include function not a part of your core CFC. If the function is instead simply injected into the request scope as for instance request.include() then it won't have its own variables scope to be confused with the variables scopes of the calling template or the template being included. hth s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
