It would be better to treat the session structure as an associative array... session[attributes.cartName] = StructNew(); session[attributes.cartName].items = ArrayNew(1); // Note you missed the 1 in this... session[attributes.cartName].items[1] = "blahblahblah"; that way you get away from that whole hacky way of setting dynamic variables. You could also use setVariable - but I think this way is cleaner personally. --- James Sleeman ______________________________________________________________________ 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=coldfusiona 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
