<CFPARAM> only sets the value if it isn't already defined. CFSET overwrites any exisitng value. CFPARAM is normally used to set a default value to a variable, but allows it to be overwritten, normally by URL or FORM variable.

I'm wondering if someone could offer me some insight as to why I might choose one over another. -- -- Frank Marion Loofah Communications frank at loofahcom.com http://www.loofahcom.com --------------------------------------- For unsubscribe and other options, including the Tip Harvester and archive of TheList go to: http://lists.evolt.org Workers of the Web, evolt !
