stephen. to my knowledge there is a "form" scope of variables.
they are listed in a string (Comma separated) and can then be sent to an array ListToArray(ListName) and from there looped through, etc.... ..tony Tony Weeg Senior Web Developer Information System Design Navtrak, Inc.

I have had to use the CurrentRow to give each set of checkboxes an individual name, so that they don't over write each other when selected. This gives me a set of form fields with names like linkSection1 and linkSection2, depending on how many results are returned by my query. The problem I am having is referencing these checkboxes in my form action page. I could just go <cfoutput>#FORM.linkSection1#</cfoutput> or <cfoutput>#FORM.linkSection2#</cfoutput>, but the problems is I don't know how many there will be. My query could return either 2 different results or 50, that means I need to output either #FORM.linkSection1# to #FORM.linkSection50#. My question is how can I call the form field no matter how many are passed. I have tried this: <cfloop index="index" from="1" to="#ListLen(FORM.firstname)#"> <cfset FORM.linksSection = FORM.linksSection + #index#> <cfoutput>#FORM.linksSection#</cfoutput> </cfloop> but it failed. Any one got any ideas?
