manager_direct_staff is just a list of the records that come back in the get_manager_staff.userid query column right? So get rid of that loop, and just change the second query to this:
<cfquery name="get_category_avg" datasource="emp_review"> SELECT AVG(dbo.answer_rating.answer_value) as category_avg FROM dbo.answer_rating WHERE (dbo.answer_rating.site_id = #ATTRIBUTES.site_id#) AND (dbo.answer_rating.question_id IN (#category_qid#)) AND (dbo.answer_rating.eval_email IN (#quotedValueList(#get_manager_staff.userid#)) AND (dbo.answer_rating.self = 'n') </cfquery> The quotedValueList() function was created exactly for what you are doing, I imagine the format of the list is what is causing your problems. If this doesn't work, can you send the error you are getting? -- Jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Friday, July 26, 2002, 7:05:28 PM, you wrote: MEC> I'm having difficulty using the "IN" operator condition on a text list MEC> dynamically generated from previous query.
