Does the first query return any results? i noticed that you dont have a =, IN, !=, OR having before the subquery in getWaitingStudent, im no sql expert but does this still work like this?

Code below: <CFQUERY name="getWaitingStudent" datasource="SMC"> SELECT ClassSchedID, InputDate, WaitList, RegistrationID FROM ClassRegistration WHERE InputDate (SELECT MIN(InputDate) FROM ClassRegistration WHERE ClassSchedID=99999) </CFQUERY> <CFSET ClassID=#getWaitingStudent.WaitList#> <CFSET RegID='#getWaitingStudent.RegistrationID#'> <CFQUERY name="InsertWaitingStudent" datasource="SMC"> UPDATE ClassRegistration SET ClassSchedID=#ClassID#, WaitList=NULL, ModifiedDate=#Now()# WHERE RegistrationID='#RegID#' </CFQUERY> Dave Clay Internet Facilitator Trus Joist, A Weyerhaeuser Business 5995 Greenwood Plaza Blvd, Suite 100 Greenwood Village, CO 80111 303.770.8506 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
