It's an old trick, but the simplest way to do this is to create a pseudo-scope. At the top (or near the top) of your method add something like this: <cfset var local = StructNew()> You can then use "local" as a "scope name" throughout the method - any place you'd need a local variable. For example: <cfset local.tempvariable = ""> <cfloop collection="#local.CurMembers#" item="local.CurMember"> If you use it regularly it'll quickly become second nature.
