I don't believe there is a limit (beyond hardware system limits) for size. I once ran a code challenge to tally the number of words in an arbitrary piece of text (for example "the" appears 35 times, "We" appears 3 times, etc) This was in CF 4.5/5.0 at the time (but I don't think it mattered) but one of the entries treated the text as a space-delimited list and looped over it. It worked just fine (and was actually one of the fastest entries) with text strings as large as the full novel "Call of the Wild". I've also successfully done log file parsing in CF treating log files (even large ones) as carriage-return-delimited lists. In other words list can be very, very large. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
