Jim it looks like you're on the right track now.    Something you
might like to know about - it drove me crazy when I first started
using SQLServer till i got the hang of it,  one of the things SQL
Server is really finicky about is putting single or double quotes
around the values in the queries.  You need to make sure you have the
syntax exactly right.   I sometimes work out the query in query
manager first,  so i dont have coldfusion issues before I've figured
out the exact query I need to send.

For example:

<cfset name="Kear" />

<cfquery name="query1" datasource="#request.dsn#">
  SELECT  name,address,city,state
  FROM users
  WHERE name = '#name#'
</cfquery>
(i.e. with single quotes around the variable #name#)

is not the same as

<cfquery name="query2" datasource="#request.dsn#">
   SELECT  name,address,city,state
   FROM users
   WHERE name = "#name#"
</cfquery>
(i.e. double quotes on the variable #name#)

In the first case,  with the single quotes,  it's going to match
records where the column 'Name" has a value of "Kear".   In the second
example, the double quotes tell SQLServer it's a column name.    So
that query wants it to find records where the value of the column
"Name" is the same as the value in the column "Kear".   If there isnt
a column called "Kear" it'll throw an error.
