UDFs and CFC methods maintain all of this as well, if you have execution times enabled in the debugging output, but they don't expose it to the request in process. Kind of off the topic now, but if you've got more than a small handful of UDF/method calls in your app, make sure you've got the execution times section of the debugging output disabled, or you'll see a HUGE decrease in performance. Like with 100 calls you'll be measuring the decrease in full seconds. If that's disabled, then none of it's maintained, and things should be lickety-split. cheers, barneyb On 1/18/06, Jim Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I agree with Barney here with one reminder: remember that you can put > functions inside custom tags.
