Thanks for following up! I'm always looking for tips and tricks for steamlining my code so I really appreciate all the information.

I will try to word my responses better because I was not implying the lack of expert advice from anyone. I've learned alot of the posts and posters here! I named the submit button because I use <cfif isDefined("form.inputButton")> to run the loop/insert. I can avoid this by not including verything on the same page (which for me is easier organized) and to run my loop and insert in a new page? Is this the best option? Is using form.fieldNames the best way to retrieve the selected values from the form? If so, I'll add the conditional logic as Dave suggested. I was having so much trouble with the "extra" results that I was questioning whether or not I was using the best method or if there was a better one. -----Original Message----- From: William Seiter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 06, 2008 2:45 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: using form.fieldNames and CFLOOP to insert selected radio buttons Ron, Dave has given you two concrete solutions/options/direction to handle this issue. I have read many of his helpful responses to people on this board and I am sure he is an 'expert' here. 1. Use a 'cfif' statement within your 'cfloop' to process the form variable as long as it is 'not' (whatever form variable names that should be ignored) 2. Do not add the 'name' parameter to the <input type="submit" tag on the form. If there was something else that you were looking for, please let us know. William -- William E.

That's why I posted the question here. I would really appreciate any concrete solutions/options/direction from the other experts here. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2008 6:36 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: using form.fieldNames and CFLOOP to insert selected radio but tons > It's returning the correct values that need to be inserted into the > database, but it's also returning the value and name of my submit > button.

CF has no way of knowing which fields you care about, and which you don't. Your submit button creates a form variable, just like any other form field. You can avoid this by using conditional logic within your loop to exclude the fields you don't want, or by not giving those fields names in the first place.
