RE: Compare List
That's what the ListSort function embedded in the Compare function was for.As long as both lists contain the exact same entities it doesn't matter if they're in different orders if you embed those ListSort functions.Perhaps my code was unclear.Here let me elaborate: cfset list1=1,2,3,4,5 cfset list2=3,1,2,5,4 cfset result=Compare(ListSort(list1,text),ListSort(list2,text)) cfif result IS 0 THEY ARE THE SAME!! cfelse THEY ARE NOT THE SAME!! /cfif ;-P Maybe that wasn't the point of your question though-- I think your algorithm for doing the list compare is valid and beautiful in any case. Its just not necessary to do it algorithmically when CF is so generous with its List related functions.

RE: Compare List
This will not always work, you need to use ListFind (or ListFindNoCase) instead of ListContains. Otherwise 2,9,7 and 2,7,99 will return true. Also, put a cfbreak in the loop if it is not a match.

Re: Compare List
Will Compare(String1,String2) work to compare a list? *Technically,* you could probably use compare() if you can guarantee the order and casing of the elements in each list.

RE: Compare list vs. recordset?
Yes, it is an update form with checkboxes. The reason I cannot delete everything and reinsert it (beyond the fact that this sounds very hard on the database) is that other data is stored in the database for each record which I cannot duplicate. Therefore, I really need to be to utilize the existing records and just add new ones as necessary.
