As Isaac said, not currently. One practice I've seen some developers using is to declare a new struct called "local" and they use that as a pseudo-scope for keeping variables locally scoped to a function. I've tried using this technique and haven't decided whether I like it or not. So, for example: <!---// at the top of your function //---> <cfset var local = structNew()> <!---// now later when you want to declare a variable or query //---> <cfset local.someVar = "test"> <cfquery name="local.html" datasource="local.dsn"> </cfquery> I've used a technique like the "local" struct method for throw away variables in the past (i.e. stuff I'm using in order to just help w/readability.) You just have to make sure that if you use a technique like "local" that you make sure to always declare you "variables" as keys in that structure or else you're liable for race conditions again. -Dan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
