Hi Richard, This should help:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/any-in-some-subqueries.html Basically, you can do like: SELECT * FROM tableX WHERE tableXId IN (#listOfIds#) With cfqueryparam that looks like <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#listOfIds#" list="true"> You'll also need ArrayToList().
