Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox. Get the official book at

That's because IS is not a valid SQL keyword...
I've also notice that in SQL, if I do a:
SELECT *
FROM TableName
WHERE (FIELD1 LIKE 'yes')
it works, but
SELECT *
FROM TableName
WHERE (Field1 IS 'yes')
does not work...
~~~
I'm not certain why the SQL statements you noted below would work the way
they do, but it's possible that the fields are padded with extra spaces
around the "yes" which is causing a problem.
Converting the field type from varchar to integer will solve the problem.

Thats because the correct syntax for SQL would be:
WHERE F
You could check the value of the variable to see if it's really 'Yes'
or not:
FIELD1='#FIELD1#'
Note single quotes surrounding variable output. Check to see if
there might be trailing spaces - this might be the problem.

If you can change the data type of the Field1 you would be better to make it
a bit field and then use 1 for yes and 0 for no, then your CF logic and your
SQL will probably make more sense. Right now your trying to do String
Comparisons when what you really want to be doing by what you have put do
When in doubt, use Trim() and UCase() functions to make sure, so instead of
try
See if that helps.

I would use type 'bit' for the field instead of varchar. Where 1 is yes and
0 is no, then in your if
check if it is EQ 1 or EQ 0.
