The data returned from the form is used to update a table in the database. My form returns all the original data in a db, the user can then amend anything they want, either by checking another radio button or changing some text in a text box. Then they can submit the form and this should update the original data. -----Original Message----- From: Sam Farmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 20 September 2002 15:30 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Referencing a dynamically named form field My first question is, what are you trying to do with the data that is returned from the form? I think you are on the right path but might be getting muddled along the way. For instance, by giving each radio button a different name you are negating the use of radio buttons because it becomes possible for the user to select each one on the page.
