>From the CF7 docs: "If you use a variable name without a scope prefix, ColdFusion checks the scopes in the following order to find the variable: 1.. Function local (UDFs and CFCs only) 2.. Arguments 3.. Variables (local scope) 4.. CGI 5.. Cffile 6.. URL 7.. Form 8.. Cookie 9.. Client Because ColdFusion must search for variables when you do not specify the scope, you can improve performance by specifying the scope for all variables. To access variables in all other scopes, you must prefix the variable name with the scope identifier." -- Josh ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:302195 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
