Hi Steve, The try catch is _not_ required. All you need is the line: <cfparam name="FORM.user_type_id" type="numeric" default="0" />
If FORM.user_type_id does not exist, cfparam will take care of it. That's it. Later, Niall. -----Original Message----- From: Steve LaBadie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 17 September 2008 14:12 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Problem Passing Data Would this work? <cfparam name="FORM.wrkshp" type="string" default="" /> <cftry> <cfparam name="FORM.user_type_id" type="numeric" default="0" /> <cfcatch> <cfset FORM.user_type_id = 0 /> </cfcatch> </cftry> Steve LaBadie, Web Manger East Stroudsburg University 200 Prospect St. East Stroudsburg, Pa 18301 570-422-3999 http://www.esu.edu [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:312662 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
