Another thing to keep in mind is that you could also use a cftag! For example <cfmodule template="form.cfm" attribute="Hello">
CFC's are good but it should not be wise to use html in a cftag, it looks cleaner if cfc's are used for business logic. Regards, Andrew Scott Quote of the Day: People wish to be settled.

The nice thing about cfc's vs includes is that you can pass arguments into cfc methods and alter how the form looks/acts based on those arguments...

In this case it was a 'contact us form'. I created an include file that had a form in it and also a <cfif isDefined> type thingy so that if the form had been submitted then it would action that. So I have on my main page: --------------------------------------------------------------------- <!--- contact us form ---> <cfset actionPage = "/index_02005ii.cfm?cp=13"> <cfinclude template="/webs/02005/includes/ include_formContactUs.cfm"> <!--- end of contact us form ---> --------------------------------------------------------------------- AND ON my include_formContactUs.cfm I have: --------------------------------------------------------------------- <cfif isDefined('sendContact')> Blah blah </cfif> My form --------------------------------------------------------------------- However, I know this is probably the right time for me to do it another way, but i'm just not sure how to do it. It works fine the way it is but i know that for instance i have set the actionPage but i'm sure there is a different way of doing that? It's not a CFFUNCTION i have to make is it? Is it worth doing it for this? I'm sure it would come handy because so often I have written 'contact us' type action forms.
