Did you run it as a UDF? Because that's where the problem starts...if you did, then something's screwy here (MS 2000 advanced server, CF5 (duh.)) I just added cfusion_encrypt and cfusion_decrypt into the mix between the encrypt and url functions in the UDFs and it seems to work fine now...thanks for checking it out-> Tyler
