thanks Jason, although this doesnt seem to work my end. i copied and pasted the 
code into the form...the combo is empty at first which is great, but when i 
click on the submit button without selecting anything in the combo it doesnt 
show me the message "Please select a Sample Type to continue."

is this just a problem my end you think?

>     <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#arraylen(lookupOptionsArray)#">
>          <option
>value="#lookupOptionsArray[i]#">#lookupOptionsArray[i]#</option>
>     </cfloop>
