I agree with everything that Dave says... (Having just deleted all the stuff I typed cos it was a repeat)

The SQL you create for a grouped CFOUTPUTs is the same as you would use for writing your own grouping in a CFLOOP. I've use both grouped cfoutputs and grouped cfloops. Really it just depends what I want to do with the data and the groups. (warning favourite phrase of the moment) Horses for courses. Choose the one that matches your needs best. Simple grouping, go for cfoutput, more complex stuff is probably better done with a cfloop. Regards Stephen ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
