Why not simply do a quick check for existence of preferences, then just display what items are in the database for the user. No need for cfdirectory in this case, unless I'm missing something.
So basically you can have a quick exception handler to use cfdirectory if no preferences are specified, otherwise simply query the user preferences table and display stored preferences.

I'm listing the contents of drive "D:\" on the server. Here is an example listing: inetpub temp work test data I also have a preferences template where the user can type in directories into a <input> box which would then be saved to a database. The database would then be queried and that information dumped to a cookie for that session. The page would be refreshed and only those directories the user specified in the <input> box would be displayed ignoring *everything* else. I know this can be done but I'm having trouble figuring it out the smarts. --------------------------------------------------- Colonel Nathan R.
