Change the form like so:
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="MetList">
<TR>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="MetCheck"
VALUE="#Met_ID#"></TD>
<TD>#Met_ID#</TD>
<TD>#FirstName# #LastName#</TD>
</TR>
</CFOUTPUT>
Notice that I changed te name so that all the checkbox will have the same
name. This will cause
one form field to be posted called form.MetCheck which will contain a list of
all the IDs that
were checked. To get a count simply use listLen(form.MetCheck). Note that if
none of the
fields were checked, form.MetCheck will not exist. I handle this by using
cfparam to
initialize the variable with an empty string.
