thanks for help so far

ok  I can get the column names and get a new query to run with them, but how
do I get the data.

Here is what I came up with,  

        <CFQUERY query1>
                Select *
                from #tblname#;
        </CFQUERY>
        <CFSET columnlist = query1.columnames>

        <CFquery query2>
                SELECT 
                        <CFLOOP>
                                Loop through list
                        </CFLOOP>
                FROM #tblname#;
        </cfquery>

both querys work,  but looks like I am just repeating same thing, a
different way.

how can I now print data to screen.

thanks again

Use the following after running your query:

query_name.columnList

Hello

        Is there a way to get the column names from a table, if you don't
know them.
I am passing a table name to a page then need to look up information in that
table. because I am going to be passing a number of table names,  I can't
use column names from any one table.
The tables are of various sizes with anywhere from 4 to 20 columns.

how can I display the query results?
example:

        <CFQUERY>
                Select *
                from #tblname#;
        </CFQUERY>

The query itself works fine,  but I don't know how to get to the results

Thanks for any help
Rodney
