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.
