if #user_id# equals #user_id# ?
wouldn't that always return true?
but you could try
<cfif "#user_id#" eq #user_id#>
Sorry User_ID is taken
</cfif>
but that will always return true... there's a bunch of ways of doign this -
here's one, i'm sure there are better ways
<cfquery name = "usercheck">
select count(*) as user_id_check
from database
where '#form.userid#' eq user_id
</cfquery>
<cfif #usercheck.user_id_check# eq "0">
sorry that username is taken
</cfif>

Subject: cfif help???
I am trying to set up a form that compares the form field user_id to the
database. Here is what I have written:
<cfif '#user_id#'=#user_id#>
Sorry User ID is Taken
<cfelse>
<!---Create New User--->
<cfinclude template="create_user.cfm">
</cfif>
I am getting an error saying:
Error Diagnostic Information
InsideText
Cannot convert user1 to boolean.
user1 is what was entered as user id on the form page.
Any ideas,
Rich
