Jeff,
It looks like you only need a CFIF statement that checks the current row
being processed by the CFOUTPUT statement, such as:
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="getbids" maxrows=5>
<TR BGCOLOR=###IIF(getbids.currentrow MOD 2, DE ('FFFFFF'), DE ('grey'))#>
<CFIF CurrentRow IS NOT 5>
<TD>Anonymous</TD> <TD>$$$$</TD> <TD>#BidDate#</TD>
<CFELSE>
<TD>#Alias#</TD> <TD>#BidAmount#</TD> <TD>#BidDate#</TD>
</CFIF>
</TR>
</CFOUTPUT>
Hope it helps!

As it stands, the output will show all bids. I need it to show a place
holder
for the first top 4 bids like $$$$ and show the 5th highest bid. The idea is
that the bidders can't see the top 4 bids.
