This is what they give in the docs for searching for a collection: <cflock name="verity" timeout="60"> <cfcollection action="list" name="myCollections"> </cflock> <cfquery name="qoq" dbtype="query"> select * from myCollections where myCollections.name = 'myCollectionName' </cfquery> <cfdump var = #qoq#> -----Original Message----- From: Mark W.

What I am looking for could be a function called iscollection(collection name)if it existed. Is there a better way than evoking a search of a collection and catching any error. Mark W.
