In this instance it is probably a little more correct to specify the row you want to access. >Also, how does cf know the variable name and value? > > With this struct notation you would normally use mystructname["mycolumnname"] - notice the quotes around the column name. This notation takes a literal string for the field or column that will be used. The above notation can also be used in the form mystructname.mycolumnname. When you don't enclose the string in quotes CF will use the supplied string as a variable from which to get the string it will use as the struct key. eg. thisOne = 'mycolname'; session[thisOne] = myQuery[thisOne][1]; is that same as : session["mycolname"] = myQuery["mycolname"][1]; and : session.mycolname = myquery.mycolname[1]; Hope thats helps Regards Stephen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
