Scott, I'd say you need more than one function - otherwise your functions aren't really encapsulating in a granular fashion.

I know I could break the function up into separate functions, and the arguments have to be the first items in a function but is there a simple way to do this.. <cfif IsDefined("url.person_id")> <cfargument name ="person_id"/> <cfelse> </cfif> -- -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer Office of Research Information Systems Research & Economic Development University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Phone:(919)843-2408 Fax: (919)962-3600 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:310914 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
