Try this:
<cfquery name="q_maxletter">
SELECT Max(Foo) AS max_temp
FROM bar
</cfquery>
<cfset nNextChar = Chr(Asc(q_maxletter.max_temp) + 1)>
You will need to make sure you don't go past "z"

Subject: Increment Strings
I have a database that increments on letters of the alphabet. Is there a
way in CF to return the next letter in a sequence, i.e. the following query,
SELECT Max(Foo) AS max_temp
FROM bar
Returns: 'E'
I want to increment that to the value 'F' and insert a new record with that
value.
TIA,
