Hi Ian, Here's an example of what you're trying to do. I tested this on a table of mine, so the fields are a little different, but you'll get the idea.
<!---query for all dates, grouped by month---> <cfquery name="test" password="#pword#" username="#uname#" datasource="#dsn#"> SELECT datecollected, to_char(datecollected, 'MM') as themonth FROM FLPWEB.CFS_LUNCHDATA group by to_char(datecollected, 'MONTH'), datecollected ORDER BY to_char(datecollected, 'MONTH'), datecollected </cfquery> <!---Set a default month---> <cfparam name="defaultdate" default="10"> <!---Output the results for the default/selected month---> <cfoutput query="test" group="themonth"> <cfif defaultdate IS themonth> The Month: #monthasstring(defaultdate)#<BR> <cfoutput> Date: #datecollected#<br></cfoutput> </cfif> </cfoutput> <!---Create a form with a drop-down box of all listed months---> <form action="datetest.cfm" method="post"> <select name="defaultdate"> <option value="">Select another Month</option> <cfoutput query="test" group="themonth"> <option value="#themonth#">#monthasstring(themonth)#</option></cfoutput> </select> <input type="submit" value="Go!"> </form> Deanna Schneider Interactive Media Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
