Hi all, I have a CFFORM where the field values are populated with variables I set at the top of the page. variable1="" if a new record, or variable1="#field1#" from a query if an update. For one of the fields in the form, I have to query another one-column table for values. I got it working, sort of, but I have two problems. First, some of the values in the second table are multiple words, like "Civil Rights Leader", but when the first table is updated, I only get the first word... anything after the first space is not passed. Any thoughts? Second, for maintenance purposes, I would rather not maintain two tables for this information. Would you recommend using a self join on this field, so that I can get a drop down list of all the available values and enter an new value while I'm updating the main record? I suppose another alternative is to create a linking table in which I would store only keys. Given the number of tables I have already and the complexity of the application, I'd rather not, but I would follow the advice of the more experienced among you. What I'm looking for here is what I always called (prior to using CF and SQL) a lookup on previously entered values.
