the most obvious answer is to not write anything to the db until they have confirmed all is correct. Just pass the form fields through to the next page...

SELECT t.id,t.product_name,t.operator,t.stage,t.qc_lot,r.s4_time,r.s5_time 6. FROM trip_data t, report_stamps r 7. WHERE t.id = r.id AND #where# 8. </cfquery> However when I ditch line 2 the query output has two single quotes surrounding my variable. EXAMPLE OUTPUT IN QUERY 1. SELECT t.id,t.product_name,t.operator, 2. t.stage,t.qc_lot,r.s4_time,r.s5_time 3. FROM trip_data t, report_stamps r 4. WHERE t.id = r.id AND t.id = ''100'' Notice line 4 Does anyone know why CFML adds this mysterious second set of single quotes when I output within the cfquery tags?
