correct. you're simply creating a variable in the method that's local to the method. when you do your <cfquery name="q1"> it creates the query in that same "space". since CF is typeless, it doesn't matter whether or not your variable instantiation is a simple var, complex var, etc. it's just a variable namespace created/reserved in memory. any variable you create afterwards that has the same name (regardless of variable "type") will be created in that same space (which is now local to the method that created it). -- Charlie Griefer ================================================ "...All the world shall be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
