Had to do it... <cfloop index="field" list="#getThis.columnlist#"> <cfparam name="form.#field#" default="#getThis[field]#"> </cfloop> thats only if you want the values from the database to be the default values of the fields though. Just use default="" if thats not what you're looking to do.

In my admin pages, MOST of the text fields are tied directly to database fields of the same name. In the edit portion of the code, I select all of the information for that record, then use the columnlist attribute of the cfquery to loop over a cfparam tag like so: <cfquery name="getThis"> query here </cfquery> <!--- Make sure that the getThis query.recordcount has contents ---> <cfparam name="getThis.columnlist" default="#getThis.columnlist#"> <cfloop index="field" list="#getThis.columnlist#"> <cfparam name="CLIENT.#field#" default="#Evaluate("getThis."&field)#"> </cfloop> <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.
