Since you're using oracle, you can also get the desired effect by using nvl in your query, like so: SELECT nvl(telephone,'Not Specified') as phone
This works as long as you're storing the phone number as a varchar2 field, and not a number field. Doing it this way will make your cf code cleaner. -d Deanna Schneider Interactive Media Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation � $99/Month � Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
