Not at the top of your CFC's but at the top of each function in the CFC for all variables you want to be local to that function. The VAR declaration creates private variables for the function so that they do not get mixed up with variables of the same name in other functions and|or the variables scope. The variables scope is basically the global private scope of the entire CFC and is shared by all functions of the component. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:301345 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
