Output the user_id in the option value:
<select name="lname">
<option>
<cfoutput query="qryUsers">
<cfif lname NEQ "">
<cfif Inactive NEQ 1>
<option value="#user_id#">#lname#, #fname#
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
</select>
Then if you need to output the last and first name in the form landing page,
do a query based on the:
SELECT * FROM users
WHERE user_id eq #form.lname#
Or something like this....

i want to insert equipment data into my equipment database based on my
employee id. but i cant have a drop down list of just id numbers because
people wont know who the number belongs to.
is there a way i can show the names, but when the data gets inserted into my
equipment table that the corresponding employee id goes in, not the full
name?
i have this as my select box:
<select name="lname">
<option>
<cfoutput query="qryUsers" group="lname">
<cfif lname NEQ "">
<cfif Inactive NEQ 1>
<option value="#lname#, #fname#">#lname#, #fname#
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
</select>
but when i submit this form...i want the employee id to go over, not the
name
thanks for your help,
bec.
