congrats on the fix... Incidentally, you should also use urlencodedformat() around that value before using it in a link... i.e. <A HREF="process_path.cfm?LID=#urlencodedformat(couponhref)#" ... otherwise you'll run into problems if the couponhref variable has certain characters in it... technically the whole href attribute should also be in an htmleditformat() function, but that's a whole other can o' worms I won't get into right now. :)
