    yes! I remember that code (ha). Don’t you remember how it was before you saw the “functions” tab in the Coldfusion help? Thanks for the chuckle.

    hehehe i once remember a developer (jnr) used a cfinclude system to replicate CFLOOP.

    I asked him “Why are you doing this? is there a purpose?”

    his response: “I needed to output 100 rows”

    “Yeah, well use CFLOOP”

    “there’s a CFLOOP tag? since when?”..

    *groan*
