Or a couple loops....
<!--- loop the query and replace the names with markers --->
<cfloop query="artists">
<cfset thetext = replacenocase(thetext, artist, "**#currentrow#**",
"all") />
</cfloop>
<!--- now loop again and replace the placeholders with their links --->
<cfloop query="artists">
<cfset thetext = replace(thetext, "**#currentrow#**", "<a
href='mypage.cfm?var=#artist#'>#artist#</a>", "all") />
</cfloop>
That did the trick for me.

I dont know what I was thinking but that wont work either. Say you had
Bobby and Bobby Hartsfield
If you replaced Bobby Hartsfield with a link then Bobby... the code would
replace the Bobby within Bobby Hartsfield
You will need to order the names by length descending to make sure the
longer names are taken care of first but you will also need to use a regular
expression to replace the strings only if they are NOT within
<a.*?>(#artist#)</a> already

Yes, Do it in your query. Try this...
Select artist
>From tablename
Order by length(artist)

Hi Bobby,
Out of interest, how would I reorder by length? In the query? MySQL 4.1.7
Thanks
Will

Reorder by length so the longer names come first. Also, I think you only
need replace(works_string, artist, "<a href='profiles.cfm?e=#profileID#'
target='artistWin'>#artist#</a>", "all")
