Ron,
Thanks so much for your help.
Third item was the charm -- the <cfparam> seemed to do the trick by
providing a default value.
(BTW re: the "option" tag -- there wasn't just one, it's selecting many
entries from an Oracle table and populating a drop-down box...)
Once again, this great list and its mentors come through -- and thanks for
not saying "RTFM" for something as basic as cfparam...
