Iiiirk, you're having quotes inside quotes and # inside #... :-( Try this instead <cfif IsDefined('evaluate("form.grp_sort_#myIDX#")') Anyway, I doubt this will work: evaluate will either return the value of form.grp_sort_#myIDX# if it is defined, either cause an error if not. Too bad for isDefined :-( What you really want may be more simply: <cfif IsDefined("form.grp_sort_#myIDX#") AND evaluate("form.grp_sort_#myIDX#") NEQ ""> -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
