I haven't followed this thread closely ... will a variation of the following
work:
<cfif IsDefined("form.fieldnames")>
<cfloop
list="#form.fieldnames#"
index="field">
<cfoutput>
<input type=hidden name="#field#" value="#evaluate("form."&"#field#")#">
</cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</cfif>
Where I'm dropping the info into hidden form fields, you could first
determine what the fields are and later write query using that information.
