This is a known issue - I think the workaround is to run a replace on the list before you do listlen - stick a whitespace character in there:
Replace(list,"||","| |","all") Then you can replace it back the way it was after the listlen if you need to. -- Josh ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chad McCue" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2007 12:37 PM Subject: Get the Real list len > This list below really has 20 entries, but when I do a listlen on it, it > returns 19.
