Ben,
Three things. First, the lone <OPTION> tag is a bit unconventional, although
I'm not sure if it will cause your error. If you want a blank option at the
top of the list that says "Select One", use this:
<OPTION value="">Select One...
Second, in your <CFIF #BoxID# IS NOT ""> line, you don't need the hash (#)
marks there, although I don't believe that will throw an error in CF v4x.
Third, you should have a <cfparam name="BoxID" default=""> at the top of
your form action template (along with all other expected form variable
names).
