I'd make that argument. :) Although if you want to get metadata from your database there are some decent db-platform independent ways to accomplish this using JDBC. I wrote an article about it in the ColdFusion Developer's Journal which can be found here: http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/read/45569.htm Although if you're using CodlFusion version 7 you can probably avoid using the undocumented (and therefore unsupported) coldfusion.server.serviceFactory object by using the new ColdFusion Adminsitration API (a collection of built-in CFC's). 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.
