Re: Repeating Data - Unsure of my use of cfquery
I got my original form to output the way I wanted it to. Now, I'm trying to actually process and validate that form and I'm running into more errors.

Re: Repeating Data - Unsure of my use of cfquery
cfoutput query=aQuery cfoutput query=bQuery /cfoutput /cfoutput That is illegal because ColdFusion does some automatic variable scoping that would just not work in such a situation. To do this you have to use the cfloop query... form. I.E. cfoutput cfloop query=aQuery cfloop query=bQuery /cfloop /cfloop /cfoutput Just realize with this from CF is not going to automatically scope the query column names for you and you will have to keep track of the rows. You output will look something like this. #aQuery.aColumn[aQuery.currentRow]# and #bQuery.bColumn[bQuery.currentRow]# ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Repeating Data - Unsure of my use of cfquery
Just so I'm clear, are you saying that I need to change my #aQuery.aColumn[aQuery.currentRow]# formatting within the form? For example, I need to change this: cfoutput query=getSchools option value=#getSchools.SchoolBrief##getSchools.SchoolBrief#br //option/cfoutput /cfselect to this: cfloop query=getSchools option value=#getSchools.SchoolBrief[getSchools.currentRow]##getSchools.SchoolBrief[getSchools.currentRow]#br //option/cfloop /cfselect If so, what is the currentRow value?

Just a little confused there. currentRow is one of the values provided by ColdFusion about its query objects, just like columnList and recordCount. It is simple the current row of the record set that is being processed in the current iteration of a query loop, either cfoutput query... or cfloop query... loops. You can use it any time you want to know what iteration you are on. I.E a way to alternate row colors: cfiif aQuery.currentRow MOD 2#darkBackground#/cfif You can normally ignore the need to keep track of the current row when you are looping over a single record set inside of a loop. But once you nest two or more separate query loops inside each other, ColdFusion can no longer know for certain which iteration of which record set do you want to out put at a given point. It falls on you to explicitly tell ColdFusion which iteration to use. I.E. the aQuery.currentRow. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Repeating Data - Unsure of my use of cfquery
I posted a few days ago about having multiple cfquery statements in the same document. After some troubleshooting, I finally figured out how to do this. I began building my test form, which is populated from fields in a database, I'm running into a problem where the data is just being repeated, to the point where it's making the page extremely slow to load. I have a feeling this is because I didn't use cfquery properly - but I'm not sure how to remedy the situation. The form kept looking over the data more and more as I added new rows querying new data. Any help is much appreciated. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Repeating Data - Unsure of my use of cfquery
Your second query is the problem, both the repeating data and the slowness. You have a full outer join of five tables, which is not what you want. You need inner joins. Here is a simple reference that might help you on your way: http://www.sql-tutorial.net/SQL-JOIN.asp Has a million reference to other pages that might help. If you get that query sorted you should be all set. cheers, barneyb On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 6:21 AM, Steven Sprouse sspro...@ccboe.com wrote: My Code: (link to live page - http://www2.ccboe.com/summeracademy/app/emp/index.cfm) cfquery name=getSchools datasource=filemaker_schools SELECT SchNum, SchoolBrief FROM SCHOOLS ORDER BY SchoolBrief /cfquery cfquery name=getSrastaff datasource=filemaker_srmastaff SELECT ApplySubject, ApplySchool, School, ApplyPosition, YrsPartic, TshirtSize FROM ApplySchoolList, SRAStaff, ApplySubjectGrList, YrsParticList, TshirtSizeList ORDER BY School /cfquery form name=form1 method=post action=/summeracademy/app/app_process.cfm table width=100% cellpadding=2 cellspacing=2 border=0 tr td colspan=4 bgcolor=dceaf3h4Contact and Payroll Information:/h4/td /tr tr td valign=topbApplicant Name:/b/td td valign=topFirst: input name=First type=text/td td valign=topLast: input name=Last type=text/td td valign=topMI: input name=MI type=text/td /tr tr td valign=topbEmployee ID:/b/td td colspan=3 valign=topinput name=EmpID type=text maxlength=6/td /tr tr td valign=topbCurrent Regular School:/b/td td colspan=3 valign=topselect name=CurrentSchool size=1 option selected=selected value=0Select your school/option cfoutput query=getSchools option value=#getSchools.SchoolBrief##getSchools.SchoolBrief#br //option/cfoutput /select/td /tr tr td valign=topbCurrent Grade and/or Subject that you teach:/b/td td colspan=3 valign=topinput name=CurrentSubjectorGr type=text/td /tr tr td valign=topbPhone Numbers:/b/td td valign=topHome: input name=PhoneHome type=text/td td colspan=2 valign=topCell: input name=PhoneCell type=text/td /tr tr td valign=top /td td valign=topWork: input name=PhoneWork type=text/td td colspan=2 valign=topIP Phone ext.: input name=Voicemail type=text/td /tr tr td valign=topbAddress:/b/td td colspan=3 valign=topStreet: input name=Address type=textbr City: input name=City type=text State: input name=State type=text Zip: input name=Zip type=text/td /tr tr td valign=topbEmail:/b/td td colspan=3 valign=top input name=Email type=textbr Please type this carefully so that we can reach you.

Looking at the way the data are used, the OP probably needs five queries.

Just separate each table into its own query.
