when you loop through the query, you only need to do it once - thats why its
a called a loop...so instead of all those <CFLOOPs and the <cfoutput
query="getanswers">, try:
<!--- set a counter to use in the names of the variables --->
<CFSET variables.count = 0>
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="GetAnswers">
<!--- increase the counter for each iteration of the loop --->
<CFSET variables.count = variables.count+1>
<!--- now use variables.count to name your form fields --->
Answer#variables.count#:
<INPUT TYPE="text"
NAME="answer#variables.count#"
SIZE="45"
VALUE="#GetAnswers.ans_Ans#">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden"
NAME="ans_id#variables.count#"
VALUE="#GetAnswers.ans_id#">
<BR>
</CFOUTPUT>
