Ah, we are at cross wires! I was citing the java method as a possible reason for the function only ever returning true (or my suspicion that it never returns false, in response to Adrian's question) - not for it returning a boolean (which of course it does). Perhaps pre-6 it did sometimes return false, though as David points out, CF has traditionally followed this pattern so quite probably not. The docs may have changed their wording to reflect the wording in the javadocs, if indeed that is the method that is being used.
Anyways, I wonder if the OP has found his solution yet ;) Dominic 2009/3/11 C S <cfsearch...@yahoo.com>: > No, I just meant that the function returning a boolean at all probably had > nothing to do with the java link.
