Use the Value="" attribute of the select tag. I modified your code below.
<select name="lname">
<option>
<cfoutput query="qryUsers" group="lname">
<cfif lname NEQ "" and Inactive NEQ 1>
<option value="#id#">#lname#, #fname#">#lname#,
#fname#</option>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
</select>

|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.
