Yes, anything that ends with "_required" is processed as a server-side validation instruction by CF when the form is submitted, regarding the field named the same as the part before that string. So in your case, CF is doing validation to ensure that the "evaluation" form field is present.
Unfortunately, there's no way to turn off that behaviour. To avoid it, I usually camelCase my variable names; no underscores means no hijacking. cheers, barneyb On Wed, 20 Oct 2004 09:40:47 -0700, Cassidy Symons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm have a really weird problem here...I've got a form, and one of the > fields is called 'evaluation_required' - it's a Yes/No field with values > of 1/0.
