I'm not an ASP guy, but the previous guy was. >From what I can tell, in ASP, "all" variables exist. If they were not assigned a value, then they will be an empty string (or whatever equivalent for complex variables).
He just tested for x <> "" or x = "" and then did what he had to do.

Yea, that won't quite work, and what you're doing really isn't like cfparam, is it? Your suggestion is more like cfset. Here is my loose logic: If the variable is passed into the page, then use it's value, if not, set it to a default (like cfparam). If I explicitly set it to "", then it will overwrite the variable being passed into the page...thus defeating the purpose. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:257239 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
