hi dominic, thanks for the response. i have come from VB but dont think this explains the poor coding!!!! i still class myself as a newbie to coding even though i have built a couple of full applications. i am trying hard to pick as many good standards as possible as i go along so thanks very much for this. this does help me to understand coldfusion further, and your right - to make it more readable ill give it a go and see what happens, but sorry i didn't quite get what you were saying on the QoQ, if its producing the error as it is typeless is there a way i can get around this. i can obviously do it through a loop now i have got it this far but, as you said, for readability i would like to do it this way as it cuts down on alot of confusion thanks richard ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:300157 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
