No...they would want to be able to do all things at once.

SO the form would have to look like


Equipment Type                  Hours
--------------------------------------
[combo box]                             [txthours]
[combo box]                             [txthours]
[combo box]                             [txthours]
[combo box]                             [txthours]
[combo box]                             [txthours]
[combo box]                             [txthours]

[Submit][Reset]

And now from the database..we could have

Equipment Type                  Hours
-------------------------------------
Bulldozer                               5
Crane                                   6
[combo box]                             [txthours]
[combo box]                             [txthours]
[combo box]                             [txthours]
[combo box]                             [txthours]

[Submit][Reset]

And you see the rest can be blank.

And they might want to Delete BullDozer with 5 hours totally..

Or insert say Digger with 6 hours.

While aso changing the 6 hours for Crane to 3 hours because they made a
mistake.

And then click ONE button and SUBMIT their changes....all from one form
:-\
You see?

Why not just put 3 buttons on your page and give them different values.
I hope I understood your question correctly.

IE:

<input type="button" name="action" value="Add">
<input type="button" name="action" value="Update">
<input type="button" name="action" value="Delete">

Then on the processing page, just do

<CFIF isDefined("url.action")>
<CFIF (url.action) EQ "add">
Run an insert query
<CFELSEIF (url.action) EQ "delete">
Run a delete query
<CFELSEIF (url.action) EQ "update">
Run an update query
</CFIF>
