As far as the pound sign are concerned, they only wrap variables for output. So, to out loop through the results of a query: <cfquery name="myQuery"> <cfoutput>#LastName#, #firstName#: #phoneNumber#</cfoutput><br> </cfquery> So, the above would return something like: White, Ted: (403) 439-2559 Brown, Bob: (403) 437-3090 Campbell, Dave: (415) 291-9010 etc. You can also put wrap the results in html code to make tables, forms, etc. >The tags don't make it easier, it's just the >difference in languages themselves.

It's available at http://www.coldfusion.com . There's also a book to go along with that called "ColdFusion Express for Dummies" by Ben Forta, who is kind of the king of CF books.
