Two follow up questions. You can't directly use the var key word in the <cfquery> tag; <cfquery name="var joe"...>. Also, when exactly does this data get garbage collected? Since it is in a method, does a query get created and destroyed every time that method is used? I does it persist for the life of the entire component?

Yes. > Is it garbage collection? I've been reamed before for daring to not use the _exact_ precise word, so, I'll say, maybe, yea, probably so. ;) <ducks the language police> -rc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Host with the leader in ColdFusion hosting.
