Except for the cfif line, Billy is right. The cfif needs to conform to the same order of operations he mentioned:
<cfif decisionID EQ thisDecisionID>selected</cfif> All that is needed is decisionID, since it is used implicitly within the current query. If you wanted to keep the query name for the sake of the clarity of t he code, you could also do: <cfif getDCodes.decisionID[CurrentRow] EQ thisDecisionID>selected</cf if> > -----Original Message----- > From: Billy Cravens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 2:37 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: problem with dynamic data in my select boxes > > > When you start iterating through your inner query, it "loses its pl ace" in > the first query - meaning, referencing a column from the outtermost query > and expecting it to know what row it is on.
