RE: Multiple Record Update
I have a form that displays multiple records populated from the database. Something like this: Department EmployeeName Add1(text input) Add2(text input) City (text input) EmployeeName Add1(text input) Add2(text input) City (text input) . . Department EmployeeName Add1(text input) Add2(text input) City (text input) EmployeeName Add1(text input) Add2(text input) City (text input) . . etc. The question is how to I process this? It passes multiple EmployeeID's (from hidden field), but only the text input fields if they are populated (they aren't required). I think I've done it before, but I'm brain dead today. Name the text fields in relation to the EmployeeID, so EmployeeName_1, Add1_1, Add2_1 EmployeeName_5, Add1_5, Add2_5 Then loop through the EmployeeIDs doing updates on those records with those fields cfloop index=I list=#form.EmployeeID# update EmployeeInfo set EmployeeName='#Form[EmployeeName_ i]#', Add1='#Form[Add1_ i]#', Add2='#Form[Add2_ i]#' where EmployeeID=#i# ; /cfloop Philip Arnold Technical Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited Switchboard: +44 (0)20 8680 8099 Fax: +44 (0)20 8686 7911 www.aspmedia.co.uk www.aspevents.net An ISO9001 registered company. ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Re: Multiple Record Update
On the page that processes just send over the Unique identifier/primary key - and all the variables. use the cfupdate tag to update database records. If updating multiple tables - On small forms - I just set a cfupdate tag for each table and enter the values to be updated. Here is an example using access - which I assume since you didn't state any other db cfupdate datasource=datasource tablename=UsersInfo dbtype=ODBC formfields=UserName, Location, Email, Address1, Address2, Flr, City, State, Zip, Tele, Fax, CareOf, SpecialInst, PPQuestion, PPAnswer, AirportCode cfupdate datasource=datasource tablename=Users dbtype=ODBC formfields=UserName, Password hope this is what you were looking for. jay miller Terry wrote: Hi-- I have a form that displays multiple records populated from the database.

On this, try to avoid using CFINSERT and CFUPDATE - they're horrible and slow, not to mention having memory leaks at times...

Re: Multiple Record Update
Really? Even for just the small forms? - this works quite quickly on the small forms - upon clicking submit I see the confirmation page instantly.

RE: Multiple Record Update

I'll keep that in mind though the SQL is more powerful anyhow What you've got to remember is that CFUPDATE is ugly, code wise, it does all of the standard Replace(myField,','',all) For you, but you have to pass it all sorts of things like the identity (which it has to work out on the table), while real SQL can have a big WHERE clause CFINSERT and CFUPDATE are theoretically depreciated commands...
