What you SQL says now is "update that field with the value of "FORM.Answer" with the row number appended on the end. What I think you are after is the value of FORM.Answer1....FORM.Answer2, FORM.Answer3 and so on <cfset MyFieldName = "FORM.Answer" & i> <cfset MyFieldValue= Evaluate(MyFieldName)> SET answer = '#MyFieldValue#' HTH Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
