John, > the field i want to get is total but if i use
Try the SQL syntax of named fields in the select (as you have already done in the where clause): <cfquery name="getRep" datasource="#session.datasource#" dbserver="#session.dbserver#"> SELECT d.total FROM trip_flow_breakdown b, trip_flow_data d WHERE b.wid = #attributes.wid# AND b.fid = #attributes.fid# AND b.id = #attributes.id# AND d.wid = #attributes.wid# AND d.fid = #attributes.fid# </cfquery> Then: <cfoutput query="getRep">#total#</cfoutput> If you wanted both values you could do: <cfquery name="getRep" datasource="#session.datasource#" dbserver="#session.dbserver#"> SELECT d.total AS dataTotal, b.total AS breakdownTotal FROM trip_flow_breakdown b, trip_flow_data d WHERE b.wid = #attributes.wid# AND b.fid = #attributes.fid# AND b.id = #attributes.id# AND d.wid = #attributes.wid# AND d.fid = #attributes.fid# </cfquery> Then: <cfoutput query="getRep">#dataTotal# #breakdownTotal#</cfoutput> cheers David ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
