Hi Scott.
This works for me, but if anyone else has a better idea, I'm always happy to
learn.
I set up a counter variable and when it increments to 1, selected.
First of all, be sure your select is within form tags.
<form>
cntr=0
<select name='aaaaa' >
<cfoutput query='query_name''>
<cfset cntr=cntr+1>
<option value = '#field_name#' <cfif cntr = 1>selected</cfif>>
#field_name#
</cfoutput>
</select>
</form>
if you don't change this, the action page will see: form.aaaaa that has the
value of the #field_name# selected.
