"Cannot declare local variable tempNoteText twice" I'm not. I'm declaring an argumnent within a function and then using a variable with the same name in var (local) scope.
<cffunction name="splitNotes" output="No" returntype="array"> <cfargument name="tempNoteText" required="Yes" type="string"> <cfset var tempNoteText = trim(ARGUMENTS.tempNoteText)> so the local function scope includes the argument scope - it's not 2 different ones. I suppose that's buried somewhere within the docs for me to RTFM but I really didn't think it'd be the case. I suppose it makes sence but gee ...I'd *REALLY* like private variables in CFFUNCTION to be *REALLY* private cheers barry.b --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004
