What?? Balderdash! (Wow, I've been waiting to use that word.) Yes, when you use a request variable, you are storing something in memory, but you could say the same thing about local variables as well. I seriously doubt you could slow down a server with a few request vars, or even many. _Yes_, you could slow it down if you made a few thousand, or stored a lot of data in a few variables, but again, you would have the same issue w/ local variables as well. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ______________________________________________________________________ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation � $99/Month � Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
