The request scope is available to custom tags and child tags, as well as to all other pages associated with the calling page. From LiveDocs: -- Used to hold data that must be available for the duration of one HTTP request. The Request scope is available to all pages, including custom tags and nested custom tags, that are processed in response to the request. This scope is useful for nested (child/parent) tags. This scope can often be used in place of the Application scope, to avoid the need for locking variables. Several chapters discuss using the Request scope. -- http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/variab35.htm hth, larry -- Larry C.

RE: Query result set; making it available to custom tags when query is run from CF template?
Following on from that. Do a check in the custom tag to see if the query data already exists, if it does, use it, if it doesn't, get it. Or, if you're passing the query data into the tag then you will have done one query anyway.

Well, if the one query contains all of the data needed by all of the custom tag calls in the same page request, you could just set the query into the request scope and it would be available to all of the custom tag calls. To do that simply follow this example: Doing this, any cfm file in the same request can access this query object HTH On 10/24/05, Pete Ruckelshaus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm trying to improve a page I've written.
