Hi Maureen,
Thank you so much for your help, this was it! when I changed it to  
have value instead of the id everything wotked:)
Now I have another problem.

in the form I am using
<cfform action="update_action.cfm" method="Post">
in the update_action.cfm file I am using cfupdate, but I get the error:
The UPDATE fieldname cannot be found in the Artists table.

The error occurred in /Library/WebServer/Documents/Testing/Art/ 
update_action.cfm: line 11
9 :     <body>
10 : You have updated the following information in the in the Artist  
database for:</p>
11 :    <cfupdate datasource="CF8introArtgallery" tablename="Artists">
12 :    The following information was updated
13 :   <cfoutput><br />

Now I think that CF is looking for a DB field name of Update, but I  
was thinking that cfupdate updated the information already in the  
database, so I am confused to why this is happening.
<!--- update_action.cfm--->
You have updated the following information in the in the Artist  
database for:</p>
    <cfupdate datasource="CF8introArtgallery" tablename="Artists">
    The following information was updated
   <cfoutput><br />
   FirstName - # FirstName# <br  />
   LastName - #LastName# <br  />
   Address - #Address#  <br  />
   City - #City#  <br  />
   State - #State# <br  />
   Postal Code - #PostalCode# <br  />
   Email - #Email# <br  />
   Phone - #Phone# <br  />
   Fax - #Fax# <br  />
   password - #thepassword# <br  />
   </cfoutput>

Thanks so much,
John
