2 pages are involved I changed the <a 
href="reference_action.cfm?topics=#GetReferences.topic#">#topic#<br /> in 
reference.cfm and it goes to the action page, but I am not receiving. For 
example if I click on link #1 it goes to the action page, but does not show the 
data from the cf loop. i will be put the code here, as I made some changes

code #1 (reference.cfm) this code works fine
<cfparam name="URL.getTopic" default="1">
<cfquery name="GetReferences" datasource="#REQUEST.dataSource#">
SELECT *
FROM reference
ORDER BY topic
</cfquery>


<h1><strong>References</strong></h1>
          <cfoutput query="GetReferences" group="topic" groupcasesensitive="no">
                <a 
href="reference_action.cfm?topics=#GetReferences.topic#">#topic#<br /><br />
          </cfoutput>

the page I am having problens with(not showing data) is
reference_action.cfm(not working)
<cfparam name="URL.getTopic" default="1">
<cfquery name="GetReferences" datasource="#REQUEST.dataSource#">
    SELECT * 
    FROM reference 
    WHERE topic = <cfqueryparam value="#URL.getTopic#" 
cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR">
</cfquery>


        
          <h1><strong>Topics</strong></h1>
          <cfloop query="GetReferences">
                <cfoutput>
            #reference# <br />
            <a href="#reference_link#">#reference_link#</a> <br /><br />
        </cfoutput>
        <hr> 
        </cfloop>

Thanks,
John
