I personally still think getCurrentTemplatePath() should return the path to the currently executing template (instead of the function template), but I suspect relative paths for cfinclude / cfmodule have something to do with why it produces that result. At this point there's a fair amount of code in use which observes the difference, so "fixing" it would require many of us to modify our existing code to check the version of CF to determine behavior. I would be okay with that (although I might not like it), though some people might be miffed. Actually I take that back -- if by "fixing" you mean making it always return the path to the template in which the function is declared (not called), then I'd be pretty royally upset over it -- because I can't think of another way to generate that information (which is vitally important to my code) if the behavior were changed in that direction. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/author/?id=4806 http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
