First better way: Don't use strings for booleans!
Second better way: Don't write "if True then True else False"!
(parenthesis are unnecessary here, but I feel they make it more readable)
Third better way: Don't use cfform!
(that's from my form custom tag library, not yet released)

That should work just fine. No need for the iff() in this case.

I'm assuming there is a noticeable difference in using IFF? Recently I've been
using it quite heavily in forms now i.e.
Are there better ways of doing this?

You could also use the val() function around the cost variable to do the
same thing more efficiently. It will also correct for unexpected
non-integer characters in the variable as well. I've found that in
almost any situation where iif() looks like it's needed,
Quick, someone find a way to make that need an evaluate().

Check this out:
dollarformat(iif(Cost, cost, 0))
That says, evaluate cost as a Boolean, if its true (anything but 0 or
null) then return cost, otherwise return 0 (so the dollar
