Another thing to check for will be the commas... I assume that you are doing a loop and if all you are updating is the displaynames then check to ensure that your commas match...
i.e. UPDATE Foo SET fooid = fooid <CFLOOP FROM="1" TO="5" INDEX="idxFoo"> , DisplayName#idxFoo# = <CFQUERYPARAM VALUE="#FORM['displayName' & idxFoo]#" CFSQLTYPE="CF_SQL_VARCHAR"> </CFLOOP> WHERE fooid = #FORM.ID# Or something like that... Your error didn't seem to be included...
