You shouldnt hav ea problem declaring it as itself. It's more like, you're overwriting the the previous value of it. so if you say <cfset myname = "Will"> <cfset mname = "Steve"> Then output myname, it'll of course be "Steve". There's no error there. it's the same with a number. <cfset ctr = 0> <cfset ctr = 1> Output ctr and it'll be 1. No error. Hope this helps, Will ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:261668 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
