Ok
If you want to do it like that, you could do something like this
<select>
<option></option>
<cfoutput query="yourQuery" group="GroupID">
<!--- get all the products for the group --->
<cfset tempList = "">
<cfset thisGroup = GroupID>
<cfoutput><cfset tempList = ListAppend(tempList,ProductID)></cfoutput>
<!--- Output the group --->
<option value="#tempList#">Group #thisGroup#</option>
</cfoutput>
</select>
this would give you something like this
<select>
<option></option>
<option value="1,2,3,4">Group 1</option>
<option value="5,6,7">Group 2</option>
<option value="8,9,10,12">Group 3</option>
</select>
is that what your trying to do?

Yeah that helped.
Now in Group3 where there are more then one value I want it to pass all
three values through the one select stament. i.e.<option
value="Product3,Product4,Product5 etc">#thisGroup#</option>
OR from what you did it would do it this way...right? Which is what I
don't want to happen.
<option value="Product3">#thisGroup#</option>
<option value="Product4">#thisGroup#</option>
<option value="Product5">#thisGroup#</option>
There has got to be a better way to pass the variables...let me think
about this cause I'm sure there is a more practical way of programming
it.

Hash: MD5
one way would be an associative array - a structure. Let's say you have
a bunch of product groups
group1
group2
group3
group4
all of the groups have only one product in them, except for group3, so
our structure would look like this:
- --------------------------------------------------
stGroups | |
| group1 | product1 |
|----------------------------------------
| group2 | product2 |
|----------------------------------------
| group3 | product3,product4,product5 |
|----------------------------------------
| group4 | product6 |
- --------------------------------------------------
to create your select list you do something like this:
<select name="group" size="1">
<cfloop collection="#stGroups#" item="thisGroup">
<option value="#thisGroup#">#thisGroup#</option>
</cfloop>
and in your receiving page you could extract the data from the structure
like so:
<cflock scope="session" type="readonly" timeout="15">
<cfset customerChoice = session.stGroups[form.group]> </cflock>
that help?
