No you are right, I don't want to see both at the same time. The template is working but not displaying the form. I have tried the IsDefinded but I did not leave it blank, and have not tried the isnumeric. I will take another look at this.

For a new item, its blank or not defined so isnumeric(id) or isdefined("id") tells you whether your editing or adding the entry. However, I am a bit confused as to your wording "can only get one portion of the template to show at a time?" Does that mean you want to show them both?

The user clicks on the link which passes the variable ID to the template for the cfif new and cfelse edit - but can only get one portion of the template to show at a time? I've also tried cfswitch and cfcase to no avail. What else should I try? Any assistance or direction will be greatly appreciated.
