Some people (not necessarily me) believe doing this is better: <cf_mytag theQuery="#myQuery#"/>
i.e. passing the query by value and hence avoiding breaking any kind of encapsulation. Inside the tag you refer to the query in the normal way e.g. <cfset localQuery = attributes.theQuery> or just: <cfloop query="attributes.theQuery"> ... </cfloop> However, if you follow the syntax of native ColdFusion tags then the analogous approach is to do what you have opted to do. E.g. <cf_mytag theQuery="myQuery"/> Inside the tag: <cfset localQuery = caller[attributes.theQuery]/> André -----Original Message----- From: Venable, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 August 2003 19:13 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Caller access to query Thanks everyone, I was passing the queryname in as an attribute and <cfset _localQuery = Evaluate("Caller." + Attributes.query) /> was just what I needed. I had to change the + to & for concatenation though.

So if I have a query in a page, and I call a custom tag, can i use the query data through come sort of caller scope object? I can't seem to make it work.
