Thanks for all the info, Tim -- very interesting. As tempting as it might be to use undocumented features (CF not enumerating empty list elements is a pet-peeve of mine, so I loved your split() suggestion), I don't think it's entirely beyond the realms of possibility that either (i) a machine would be upgraded or (ii) a new box might be built using CFMX7 and pre-existing apps moved onto it. And to be honest, if I put myself in our employers shoes, I'd take a dim view of a developer who, without consent, used something like that. I feel it's the IT equivalent of leaving an electrical lead trailing across a walkway -- something that might be convenient to you in the short-term, but that introduces an avoidable risk. If it's your own application or business, of course, that's different. -- Aidan Whitehall [EMAIL PROTECTED] Macromedia ColdFusion Developer Fairbanks Environmental +44 (0)1695 51775 ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
