I've taken the string ltself and laid it out in a more readable format - hopefully you can guide me as to how I would go about turning this string back into an object, in order to access it with vbscript at runtime. [html] columns={ "columns":[ "column1", "column2" ], "groups":[ { "group":"group1", "columns":[ "group1.1", "group1.2" ] }, { "group":"group2", "columns":[ "group2.1", "group2.2" ] } ] } [/html] basically I'm using a dynamically created sortable list. Where the user can create x number of columns and x number of grouped columns. The user can then drag columns into grouped column lists (assigned by the 'groups' indicator in the code above). The columns are all the dynamically created columns which have not been dragged into the grouped columns collection. there is a reference link at >> http://www.captivelead.com/ftpCreator/form.asp (where you can fill out the fields - there isn't any error handling at the moment). To indicate the number of columns and groups, you must first enter a numeric value into "# of columns" and create grouped columns by entering a numeric value into "# of groups" then click the "render" button. You'll then be able to drag columns into the grouped columns section - in order to create a collection of columns within any single group. when you submit, you'll notice that a string is sent to the 'results.asp' page, with the formfield elements [using javascript getElementById(eachFormField)]. and in case you're curious to the point of this little form page, it is in order to create a table within an existing database, where the columns are the columnHeaders, and the grouped Columns are a csv of all related columns of the same type (re: notes1, notes2, notes3 etc) from a flat file such as a tab delimited file.

Need to increment the innerCall variable at the beginning of the subroutine, to prevent the previous output from being cleared. private sub generateDictionary(val) innerCall = innerCall + 1 if val.count = 0 then toJSON empty, null, true Thanks for writing such a useful component, I encountered a bug with your big fix concerning empty dictionaries:

private sub generateDictionary(val)
if val.count = 0 then
toJSON empty, null, true

This causes the JSON not to be written properly, the code below corrected the problem and displayed the results desired by your bug fix.
