IIF has its place. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I thought I read on this list weeks ago that with MX, IIF was just as fast as CFIF. I don't think that's possible, although I could be wrong. When you use IIf or Evaluate, you're evaluating a string as if it were an expression. I

Iif is necessary in certain cases. Last time I checked, you can't use cfif inside other cf tags... (Maybe in mx you can). Russ -Original Message- From: Sean A Corfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 08, 2002 8:48 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: iif usage On Sunday

Iif is necessary in certain cases. I can't think of a single case in which it's necessary. It's just another way to perform conditional logic. If you have one way to perform conditional logic, you can do anything you need, although it might be clumsier in some situations than an alternative
