Sorry Ravi no dice. This should be a simple thing to do. There are no errors when the page loads and no update to the DB.

This way, you will only run the query if you need to. You will save unnecessary trips to the database if there is no value being passed by the form variable. Example: <cfparam name="FORM.alert" default="" /> <cfif len(FORM.alert)> <cfquery name="qryUpdate" datasource="text"> update alert set alert = '#FORM.alert#' where alert = '#FORM.alert#' </cfquery> <cflocation url="../../status1.cfm?msg=succeed."> <cfelse> <cflocation url="../../status1.cfm?msg=fail."> </cfif> Also, make sure your method is set to POST on your form in order for the form variables to be passed correctly. Also, your table will not update if alert is not equal to FORM.alert. Ravi Gehlot. Steve LaBadie wrote: > Is this correct?
