In one example project I was working on, I used this for the cfreturn: <cfreturn get_agent />
And then I could access any of the query info contained in the 'get_agent' query by column name back on the calling page. In other words, I didn't have to specify in <cfreturn> what specific column I was returning... I see you're from Laos, however, you use a phrase 'sabai-dee' that I learned in Thai. Is that used in Laotian, as well? Sawadee, Khrab! :o) Thaan khawjai, ruh plow?
