You can fix this two ways. 1) In your custom tag, do <cfoutput query="caller.#attributes.queryname#">, however, in general, it's not good practice to refer to variables outside the custom tag. 2) Pass the actual query <cf_mytag query="#get_users#"> Then your cfquery would be <cfoutput query="attributes.query"> (Notice, no # marks.) ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Mindseye, Inc Member of Team Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog : www.camdenfamily.com/morpheus/blog Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: John Stanley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 8:29 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Custom Tag Question > > > I am creating a custom tag that will display the results of a > query.
