Try this....
<cfset LoopDisplayName = "#FormDisplayname[UpdateLoopIdx]#">
<cfquery name="UpdateLinks" datasource="CommonSpot-Wire">
UPDATE CouncilEmployeeLinks
SET UserID = '#session.CORNTAccount#',
link_type = '#FormLinkType[UpdateLoopIdx]#',
link_address = '#FormLinkAddress[UpdateLoopIdx]#',
display_name = <CFQUERYPARAM VALUE="What's New"
CFSQLTYPE="CF_SQL_VARCHAR">,
myLinks_section = '#Evaluate("form.linkSection" &
UpdateLoopIdx)#',
date_added = '#DateFormat(Now(),"dd/mm/yyyy")#'
WHERE ID = '#FormLinkID[UpdateLoopIdx]#'
</cfquery>
And then change the value from What's New to your variable...

Hi Denna,
I tried your idea, and it still didn't work. I am trying to pass a
link's
(URL's) display name, which is "What's New" so I used your idea like
this:
<cfset LoopDisplayName = "#FormDisplayname[UpdateLoopIdx]#">
<cfquery name="UpdateLinks" datasource="CommonSpot-Wire">
UPDATE CouncilEmployeeLinks
SET UserID = '#session.CORNTAccount#',
link_type = '#FormLinkType[UpdateLoopIdx]#',
link_address = '#FormLinkAddress[UpdateLoopIdx]#',
display_name = '#PreserveSingleQuotes(What's New)#',
myLinks_section = '#Evaluate("form.linkSection" &
UpdateLoopIdx)#',
date_added = '#DateFormat(Now(),"dd/mm/yyyy")#'
WHERE ID = '#FormLinkID[UpdateLoopIdx]#'
</cfquery>
but it still fails on the updating of the display name. I tried hard
coding the "What's New" to see if that was definately the problem. It
looks as though PreseveSingleQuotes is not preventing CF from escaping
the single quotes.
Any ideas?

Didn't someone just figure out that there's a bug with the preserve
single quotes function such that you can't use other functions inside of
it?
So, you'd have to do something like this:
<cfset thisdisplay = Evaluate("FORM.displayName" & UpdateLoopIdx)>
Then use this in your query. '#PreserveSingleQuotes(thisdisplay)#'
