Pretty consistent with my thinking... too bad those devnet articles don't offer the opportunity to post blog-style comments. This was written before the result attribute was added to cfquery, so he mentions the long-time issue of people wanting to get an identity or autonumber value from an inserted record, which used to be done primarily with cftransaction (although scope_identity() was better if you were using a more recent version of SQL Server since @@identity wasn't thread safe)... but it'd be nice to be able to tag that article with a comment that points to the cf8 docs for cfquery to point out that you don't have to futz with all that anymore now that there's a result attribute. -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 503.236.3691 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:298765 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
