In general, if you can't find a specific function that returns exactly what you want, your best bet for these sorts of things is to use exception handling to try something, and see if it works: <cftry> <cfcollection action="create" name="foo" ...> <cfcatch> ... Collection already exists? </cfcatch> </cftry> Of course, if there's any other reason why creating a collection might fail, you'd need to account for that.
