At this point it would be a good idea to reveiw the cflooptag and array functions in the cfml reference manual. If you don'thave one, the internet does.

Structures are great if you understand them, they are basically just arrays organized by keywords rather than index numbers.

Arrays are very nice, as you can just run through loops to access each element, as they are all indexed by numbers 0-x.

loops are great to navigate through both. All you have to do is set an loop to run through x amount of iterations of the array or structure (where x is the length of the array, or number of elements in the structure). Loops are great due to the small amount of code they require.
