Have to admit I find it shocking that a THIS scoped variable cannot be updated within the enclosing component by using a simple assignment statement...
Thanks to all for your replies. It can be done that way. What you are not realizing is that when you post directly to the CFC url by the action property of the form tag, you are creating a new instance of the object each and every time, and then assigning your values to that newly created instance. If you go to an action page that can access the already created object in the session scope then this line will work just as you desire. Session.myObject.thisVariable = form.someField Or if you want to pass the entire form scope. Session.myObject.thisStruct = form -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Sudoku | | | --------- "C code.
