It's pretty interesting. I am happy that I know the difference exists... But I can image if I did not, it might lead to hours of head-wall-pounding :)

But this Throws errors: <cfset MaxValue = ArrayMax( qData.value ) /> <cfset lstValues = ValueList( qData[ "value" ] ) /> They appear to be the same thing, but throw error simply on syntax?? I do not know the underpinnings of ColdFusion to know for sure, but I would guess it depends on the functions. These are functions after all, and functions except certain kinds of parameters. The funky thing here is that qData.value VS qData["value"] are parts of a complex variable a recordset. They are not the entire recordset which is qData, but they are not an individual datum in the recordset either, which would require a row designate, such as qData.value[1] or qData["value"][2]. I do not believe that a column of a recordset is an array in and of itself. So I suspect these functions have been written to read or convert a column into an array, but each one does it differently. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
