Try outputting like this: <cfoutput> #yourQuery["columnname(1)"][1]# <cfoutput>
That should take care of the dodgy column names. Ade -----Original Message----- From: Pete Ruckelshaus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 February 2005 20:24 To: CF-Talk Subject: Problems with Parentheses I've got a little problem. I have columns in a query result set that are being returned with a parenthesis in the column name, i.e. columnname(1). Weird, I know, but there isn't anything I can do about it. The second issue is that due to the very bad ODBC support for this datasource that is providing the data, I have to do this in CF5. What I am trying to do is reassign that value to a different variable name, i.e.: <cfset columnname_1 = columnname(1)> The problem is, it throws an error: The symbol you have provided (imemo) is not the name of a function I also tried using evaluate(), i.e. evaluate(columname(1)) but that made no difference. Any ideas on how I can reassign a variable that has parentheses in it? Thanks Pete -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
