var indicates the variable is in the function local scope. You cannot put the application scope in a local variable. If you want a variable that is local to the function/method you are working in you can do: <cfset var myVariable = 'foo'> If you want a variable that will exist in the application, do: <cfset application.myVariable = 'foo'> You cannot put the application scope in a local variable: <cfset var application.myVariable = 'foo'><!--- error ---> HTH Dominic -- Blog it up: http://fusion.dominicwatson.co.uk ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:303181 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
