What you're trying to use is called implicit getters and setters. It is implemented in AS 2.0, but has not yet made its way to CF. It's a nifty way to implement data hiding as well as add some functionality behind your getters and setters. When implemented it looks just like you're setting and getting a property of the object. I've done this in CF here: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/ColdFusion/DPLibraries/Ind ex.cfm Check out the Root Package and the root component. Docs for that are here: http://www.depressedpress.com/Content/Development/ColdFusion/DPLibraries/Doc umentation/DocViewer.cfm?Component=cfc_DepressedPress.DP_Component The root component provides simple, generic "getProp()" and "setProp()" methods which will call user-defined getters and setters if they exist. Optionally a meta-data system can be used to provide type validation with the generic getter/setter. Jim Davis ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
