Thanks Barney. I did dig up a little snippet of help while Googling. The trim() and len() functions will accept a null and return an empty string and 0 respectively.
#trim(Obj.i_return_null())# returns empty string #len(Obj.i_return_null())# returns 0 Thanks. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Barney Boisvert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Yeah, using structKeyExists or isDefined is what you have to do. Kind of annoying, but such is life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:308066 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
