Barry,
Okay, what you need to understand is that when you use CFFORM with
method="post", all your form variables will be in the 'form' scope. When
you use CFFORM with method="get", all your form variables will be in the
'url' scope.
For what you are trying to do, I think you don't need this line:
<cfparam name="url.all" default="">
What you do need to do is in your 'form handling' section of code, you have
to look for existence of 'form.all' with isDefined("form.all") because if
the checkbox is NOT checked, the 'form.all' will NOT exist.
If you need help, post your code that is erroring out with a few lines
before and after.
Dave

Hi Dave.
The form works now. It will remember the visitors entry.
But if left unchecked, I'm getting an error message when email is sent ot
the captcha is correct.
<cfparam name="url.all" default="">
<cfinput type="checkbox" name="all" checked="#isDefined('form.all')#"> All
50 States
Regards,
Barry
