You <cfif> to select the code is the problem - you're using IS which implies
one answer
Remember than <select multiple> returns a comma separates list (as long as
you POST the form), so you should treat it as a list
<option value="#cat_title#" <cfif ListFind(Cat_Title,c) gt
0>selected</cfif>>#Cat_Title#</option>
Should do the trick, although, not knowing your queries, I can't guarantee
it...
