I'm doing several survey forms in succession. How do I pre-populate checkboxes and radio buttons from a column string in a mssql database. I tried <cfif> statements around each checkbox, but when I submitted to go to the next form, it looks like the <cfif> would always overlay what was changed by the user back to what was in the database. So, I need to prepopulate the checkboxes/radios to what the DB had and then allow the person to change it. On the form e.g.: "desigstring" column data = 01,02,03,06 And I want the checkboxes to reflect what was already listed in the column. CHECKBOX EXAMPLE <cfquery name="desiginfo" datasource="xyz"> select desigstring from info where '#mid#' = id </cfquery> <cfform action="orsq3.cfm" method="POST"> Professional Designations/Degrees/Licenses Held (Select as many as apply)<br> <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="question2a" value="01">AEP<br> <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="question2a" value="02">AHLC<br> <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="question2a" value="03">CBA<br> <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="question2a" value="04">CEBS<br> <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="question2a" value="05">CFA<br> <cfinput type="Checkbox" name="question2a" value="06">CFP<br> <Input type="submit" value="Next Question Please"> </cfform> RADIO EXAMPLE e.g.: "mrs_participate" column data = 1 or 0 <cfquery name="MRS" datasource="xyz"> select mrs_participate from info where '#mid#' = id </cfquery> <b>Would you like to participate in the media referral service?<br> <cfform action="orsq9.cfm?mid=#url.mid#" method="POST"> <cfinput type="Radio" name="question8" value="1">YES<br> <cfinput type="Radio" name="question8" value="0">NO<br> <Input type="submit" value="Next Question Please"> </cfform> Brian D.
