Thanks Barney, I did exactly that before posting my question as it just doesn't work as advertised. Tell me if this is the problem. I run a query as in select * from the jobdatabase order by jobnumber
then I do an output query and run through all the jobs each job has a display of various data with the jobnumber having a link to an edit page for that jobnumber as in <a href="editjob.cfm?jobnumber=#jobnumber#">#jobnumber#</a> On this edit page there is this url we are speaking about and it Points back to the page that has the jobnumber query displayed and it refreshes the page as in <a href- This works fine but they are at the top of the page. I am adding a bookmark as in <a name = #jobnumber#></a> Above each jobnumber's link to the edit page for that jobnumber as in <a name="###jobnumber#"><a href="jobs.cfm?jobnumber=#jobnumber#"> BACK </a> What am I doing wrong? Or what am I missing? Help.......
