Hi Denna, I tried your idea, and it still didn't work. I am trying to pass a link's (URL's) display name, which is "What's New" so I used your idea like this: <cfset LoopDisplayName = "#FormDisplayname[UpdateLoopIdx]#"> <cfquery name="UpdateLinks" datasource="CommonSpot-Wire"> UPDATE CouncilEmployeeLinks SET UserID = '#session.CORNTAccount#', link_type = '#FormLinkType[UpdateLoopIdx]#', link_address = '#FormLinkAddress[UpdateLoopIdx]#', display_name = '#PreserveSingleQuotes(What's New)#', myLinks_section = '#Evaluate("form.linkSection" & UpdateLoopIdx)#', date_added = '#DateFormat(Now(),"dd/mm/yyyy")#' WHERE ID = '#FormLinkID[UpdateLoopIdx]#' </cfquery> but it still fails on the updating of the display name. I tried hard coding the "What's New" to see if that was definately the problem. It looks as though PreseveSingleQuotes is not preventing CF from escaping the single quotes. Any ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Deanna Schneider [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27 September 2002 14:15 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Error with a simple expression. Didn't someone just figure out that there's a bug with the preserve single quotes function such that you can't use other functions inside of it? So, you'd have to do something like this: <cfset thisdisplay = Evaluate("FORM.displayName" & UpdateLoopIdx)> Then use this in your query.
