Thanks Ray / Dave, First off - I am not *asking* them to be ordered, I am asking them to be in the order that I place them into the structure, with what you are stating Ray : this is how structures should behave yes?
But CF is taking my inserted keys and then changing the order I have placed them in, therefore it is CF which is re-ordering the structure and with this, it is true that a structure is ordered (in some way) That said, if I do not find an answer, I will use the 00X notation as I know I will not have more than 1000 objects in any given structure. As for using Arrays; I am pretty sure I cannot use them as I am storing complex datatypes within the structure such as WDDX packets and other such types/variables - but that may not be the case? So to recap, by saying that structures are there to simply "store" keys why is CF re-ordering the inserted keys even though I have entered the information in the order I wanted - it works fine for items 1-9 but not afterwards.? Thanks again! Neil ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
