No, I think cfselect NEEDS just a field name.

You CAN do what you want directly in your query.  The syntax will differ
with DBMS, but with SQLServer you can do:
<cfquery ...>
  SELECT 'ratecenter '+substring(phonenum,6) as myRateField
</cfquery>
and then you could use "myRateField" in your cfselect.

Subject: CFSELECT Question


Ok, I know this tag pretty well, but what I am trying to do is combine two
columns and do a little formatting to them, but have that come up in the
display of the CFSELECT Tag, now i just get errors when i try to directly
apply the formatting within the "display" value of the tag, can someone
guide me in the right direction on wether this is even possible???


<cfselect name="getphonenums" query="getinformation" value="ratecenterid"
display="ratecenter #Left(phonenumber, 6)#">

thanks
