Have you tried surrounding the variable coming in with a Trim statement IE:
Where zipcode = <cfqueryparam type="cf_sql_varchar" value = "#Trim(valid zipcode)#"> -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Brown [mailto:mistobr...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 2:12 PM To: cf-talk Subject: OT database problem I have a zipcode table that is driving me nuts... If I open query analyzer and say SELECT * FROM zip WHERE zipcode = 'valid zipcode' I get nothing back but if I say SELECT zipcode from zip I get all the zips back and the valid zipcode from the first query is listed in there. Why cannot I not get anything with a conditional statement in there?
