>> looks to me like a long way around a simple <cfset list1 = list2>... :)
You're not wrong but I think I see there could be good reason for listing what needs deleting and what adding. Personally, I would use Arrays - can been done really simply using underlying java methods of arrays: arr1 = ListToArray(list1); arr2 = ListToArray(list2); toAdd = arr2.removeAll(arr1); toDelete = arr1.removeAll(arr2); That's it!
