Isaac, Isaac,
what about the "repeater" attribute of the <cfformgroup> - it seems to indicate that it offers some releif for query driven forms and the recompile issue. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: S.

The current version of flash forms doesn't support multiple checkboxes with the same name, so you'd have to provide a different name for each checkbox, i.e. <cfinput name="check_#itemid#"> Then on the form action page, you would need to loop over the item_id values from your database again to retreive the results... Or you could theoretically bind the checkboxes to an ActionScript function that would update a hidden form field with the values of all the checked boxes. (I've not worked with the flash forms myself, so I don't know how difficult that would be to accomplish.) While this will work (although it's more work in your cf/as code), unless your list of items from your database is pretty close to static, this will force the server to recreate the flash movie on each request, which means loading it will continue to be slow rather than speeding up after the first request due to the availability of a cached swf. s. isaac dealey 954.522.6080 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://www.fusiontap.com http://coldfusion.sys-con.com/author/4806Dealey.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
