Hi Jennifer, You can substitute the "#form.yourfield#" with '#form.yourfield#' (i.e. single quotes) but it is also good practice to use the <cfqueryparam> tag within your sql as follows:
<cfquery name="qMyInsert" datasource="#request.datasource#"> insert into mytable (col1,...... other columns) values (<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="#form.yourfield#" maxlength="5">, other values......) </cfquery> choose the type and length to match your database column. Hope that helps.
