Ahhh, looks like that will be it then. Strange as I had used bool before on another function and it seemed to work - it must have been throwing an error as well but I never noticed!!
Thanks for the help.

Let me say that a bit more clearly (paraphrasing the CFMX reference): The returnType attribute of the cffunction tag is optional except for when a CFC is being used as a web service. The value of this attribute can be any of the following: any, array, binary, boolean, date, guid, numeric, query, string, struct, uuid, void. If the value is not a recognised type, CF processes it as a component name. For example, here I have a CFC called com.rawnet.error which holds error reporting info. In another CFC I have a function like this: <cffunction name="blah" returntype="com.rawnet.error" ... > <cfset err = createobject("component", "com.rawnet.error")> ... <cfreturn err> </cffunction> So here, I am returning an instance of the com.rawnet.error class, which is specified as the returntype attribute for the <cffunction> tag. Clear? As mud... Tim. ------------------------------------------------------- RAWNET LTD - Internet, New Media and ebusiness Gurus.
