If you also have mini app specific checks, you could extend the 'global' cfc too. And apologies for souding like a patronising git, I misread you as not having used cfcs in an app before ;) Dominic On 08/04/2008, Gerald Guido <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > @ Dominic > > > >> with the bounty of joyous learning that awaits you > > > Your not a geek.
