Hello again, It is true. The problem is that the system recognises a string of laters not a date, and to be honnest I think this is what is happening to the MyRecordCount regardless it is not giving me an error. The problem is that when I use what you suggested : <cfset MyDateLastModified=aMyUrls[3][i].dateLastModified> Then I get an other error which I assume it is syntactic error: You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable of type class java.lang.String as a structure with members. The error occurred in .../test5.cfm: line 40 40 : <cfset MyDateLastModified=aMyUrls[3][i].dateLastModified> Any ideas.!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:258781 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
