It's not so much abusing the nesting, but you're slowing it down by repeated use of ListGetAt() which is very slow because it's a List function Setting variables of those before you do the functions would be faster Oh, and since you're hitting several CFSETs in a row, use CFScript Philip Arnold Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited T: +44 (0)20 8680 1133 "Websites for the real world" ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
