Do as Russell said for the query
<CFQUERY name="LetterList" datasource="myDNS">
select distinct left(Surname,1) as Letter
from myTable
</CFQUERY>
<cfset myLetters=ValueList(LetterList.Letter)>
<cfloop index="i" from=1 to=26>
<cfset s=Chr(64+i)>
<cfif ListFind(myLetters,s) gt 0>
<a href="file.cfm?Letter=#s#">#s#</a>
<cfelse>
#s#
</cfif>
</cfloop>
Should do it... but if you have thousands and thousands of records then you
don't want to do the SELECT like that... Oh, and index the field!
