Hi Troy,
I am not sure that my experience with a checkbox column in a query will give
you some idea. The query could have any number of records so every column is
like array of fields.
I had a query which dynamically created using the information from a user
submitted form. In that form there is a checkbox field. If that filed is
"no", then I have to check all the fields associated with that particular
checkbox field (or say the whole record). If any field in that record is
empty I have to send the user back to re-fill the form.
What I did is to loop through the query and check the checkbox column, if it
is "no" then check the rest fields in that record. If any field is empty use
"<cfbreak>" to stop the process and redirect the user back to the form. To
help you to understand what I am talking about I past the related code here.
If it is not useful just ignore it. I am only trying to help.
<cfloop Query="Session.ShipTo">
<cfif Not Session.ShipTo.ShipToYes>
<cfif Session.ShipTo.FirstName is "" or Session.ShipTo.LastName is "" or
Session.ShipTo.Address1 is "" or Session.ShipTo.City is "" or
Session.ShipTo.State is "" or Session.ShipTo.Zip is "" or
Session.ShipTo.Country is "">
<cfset ErrorMessage = "You did not fill out all the required fields!">
<cfset display = "Yes_2">
<cfbreak>
<cfelse>
other code
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
