Can you think of a case where a Thing returned from createObject will behave differently from a Thing returned from createObect(...).init() (where init returns this of course). It certainly seems to act (in every possible way) the same as a CFC instance, to the point where you can pass it to an argument where type="the name of the cfc". -Rc ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
