Not sure where it is in the docs - maybe in the same area that describes structures in general?
Basically, if the name of the key is hard coded, and does not contain a space, you can use dot noation. <cfoutput>#person.age#</cfoutput> If the key is dynamic, you must use bracket notation. <cfset key = "age"> <cfoutput>#person[key]#</cfoutput> Or, if the key contains a space, use bracket notation: <cfoutput>#person["last name"]#</cfoutput> PS Did you know if you do this in CF: <cfset x.y = 1> WITHOUT first doing: <cfset x = structNew()> that you have actually created a variable named "x.y" instead of a structure? ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Valerie L.
