I wouldnt do that, what you should do is always fill in the values from submitted values.
I prefer the method of at the top of your form doing <cfparam name="FORM.fieldname" default="#somequery.column#"> and in your form <input type="text" name="fieldname" value="#FORM.fieldname#"> This means that after you check for errors, you can then show them the form again (without needing to go back, just display it again and add the errors to the top of the form) and it will all be filled in with what they entered.
