What you want is this:
<cfoutput query="GetExpOrg"> (diagnostics) row: #currentrow# id: #ExpOrg_ID#<br> <cfquery datasource="#application.datasource#" name="UpdateExpOrg"> update Project_ExpOrg set OrgValue=(select org_value from expressionorganism3 where exporg_id = #ExpOrg_ID#) where project_id = #url.ProjectId# </cfquery> </cfoutput> Basically, the reference within the query to GetExpOrg.ExpOrg_ID is the equivalent to GetExpOrg.ExpOrg_ID[1] outside of a query output context, so you always got the first ID, I'm guessing. CFLOOP sometimes does this, and you've found one example. ---------------------------------------- From: "Rick Colman" <rcol...@cox.net> Sent: Tuesday, November 02, 2010 7:29 PM To: "cf-talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Subject: What is wrong with this loop update? I am trying to update multiple rows by looping through: <cfloop query="GetExpOrg"> (diagnostics) <cfoutput>row: #GetExpOrg.currentrow# id: #GetExpOrg.ExpOrg_ID#</cfoutput><br> <cfquery datasource="#application.datasource#" name="UpdateExpOrg"> update Project_ExpOrg set OrgValue=(select org_value from expressionorganism3 where exporg_id = #GetExpOrg.ExpOrg_ID#) where project_id = #url.ProjectId# </cfquery> </cfloop> my diagnostics give me: row: 1 id: 2 row: 2 id: 693 so that is ok. but both rows are updated with the last value (693) instead of being individually updated? What's wrong with this? TNX if you can help.
