probably you have been trying to access the variable i outside the for... loop(ie. when i is local to the for-loop). If that is the case, then you may get this error message. Try something like :
int i=0; for(i; i<fc2List.size(); i++){ // here comes your for-loop block } // now you can access i I hope it solves your problem ! bob. =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
