Actually, it's even more useful than the "simulator" label implies.
What it does, pure and simple, is create a recordset. That can be used for query-simulation, true, but has other uses, including creating zero-row recordsets for populating forms. People (ie Hal) keep finding new uses for the tag. Have fun, LeeBB -----Original Message----- From: hal helms [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] You're exactly right, Evan. It simulates a query (hence it's ugly name). Syntax is like this: <cf_QuerySim> Composers firstName,lastName,genre Ludwig|Beethoven|Romantic Arnold|Schoenberg|Dodecaphonic Danny|Elfman|Modern </cf_QuerySim> You'll get a recordset called "Composers" that has three fields: firstName, lastName, and genre. Each subsequent row in the querysim tag is a row of data in the query. It's very useful when writing code if and doing database queries simultaneously. -----Original Message----- From: Nat Papovich [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] HalHelms.com (http://halhelms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=code.detail) has the best implementation of it. It was Halbert's idea to begin with but Bert Dawson (da man) made it spiffier. Bert's update is available from the link above. > -----Original Message----- > From: Evan Wilders [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Thanks, Nat. I'll do that.
