One more thing... My insertNewsSubscriptions method returns a structure. If I instantiate the method within the user method, how do I return the struct and should I add the results to the struct that the user method returns?
-Aaron Oh, and where did you learn to program? I am wishing more and more that I learned Java before CFML, but you said that you are coming from a CFML background too. Could you share some good resources with me? On 2/13/06, Deanna Schneider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm no OO expert. I only come at it from CF. So, I can't answer your last > question.
