Yes, but is it truely adding a variable to the scope? Or is it just creating a local variable named "attributes.myvar"? ( Anyone, anyone, Ray?) I just tested in CFMX, and I saw the actions I expected to see. A structure named Attributes is created in the local variable scope: <cfset attributes.MyVar = "Test"> <cfdump var="#variables#"> However, I do not have any other versions installed to test against. ( And CFDump doesn't work in versions previous to CF5). -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Need a Web Developer? Contact me!
