Subject: RE: OT but URGENT: duplicate function...
Here's what the doco says in CFstudio 4.5.2 beta2:

Chapter 2 : ColdFusion Functions
Duplicate
Returns a clone, also known as a deep copy, of a variable. The copied
variable contains no reference to the original variable.
See also StructCopy.
Syntax
Duplicate(variable_name)
variable_name
The name of the variable that is to be duplicated.
Usage
This function is very useful in duplicating complex structures, including
nested structures and queries.
Note You cannot duplicate a COM, CORBA or JAVA object returned from the
CFOBJECT tag or the CreateObject function. If any element in an array or
field of a structure is a COM, CORBA, or JAVA object, you cannot duplicate
the array or structure. If you try to duplicate an object of this sort, an
exception is thrown.
