To go back to this question, there are several methods for passing in variables. There is no really best way, it is more a matter of personal preference. Besides the use of cfinvoke, here are some ways to do it with <cfset>. 1) Named arguments. Here you actually specify the argument names when you call a method <cfset myQuery = someObject.getMyQuery(myFirstArgument=form.criteria, mySecondArgument=form.moreData) /> 2) Unnamed arguments. Here you just put in the variables in the same order in which you specify the arguments in the function. <cfset myQuery = someObject.getMyQuery(form.criteria,form.moreData) /> 3) Argument collection. Here you first build up a structure that holds the arguments. Structure keys match the argument names. <cfset myStruct = structNew() /> <cfset myStruct.myFirstArgument = form.criteria /> <cfset myStruct.mySecondArgument = form.moreData /> <cfset myQuery = someObject.getMyQuery(argumentCollection=myStruct) /> -- Matt Williams "It's the question that drives us." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307828 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
