Hi Bill,

Thanks for the advice.  However, when I made the changes you suggested, I
still got this error message:

Error Diagnostic Information
ODBC Error Code = S1000 (General error)

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Field 'Users.MiddleInit' cannot be
a zero-length string.

The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of
(CFQUERY), occupying document position (2:2) to (2:28).

The code I used was this:

<cfif isDefined("form.MiddleInit")
   and form.MiddleInit is not "">
      MiddleInit = '#form.MiddleInit #',
      </cfif>
  MiddleInit='#MiddleInit#',
