Thanks for the response. You're right. The problem actually is that I have
more than one
field in the form with the same name. The reason for this is that the form
allows users to apply for insurance to cover their property or properties.
As an applicant may have more than one property to be insured, I've
repeated the code in that part of the form dealing with property details
three times, hence the repeat occurrance of fieldnames.
At first, I only used the <input> and <form> tags. However, because I
needed to flag the first occurrance of the various property fields as
required, I changed these to <cfinput> and <cfform> tags, but thereby ran
into the problem that CF doesn't allow for repeated fieldnames (and I
couldn't flag any of these fields as 'required' or 'no null allowed' in
Access, since that would cause an error if an applicant had only one or two
properties to be insured, and so left any of the repeated part of the form
blank).
Here is what I need to do:
1. I need to be able to allow users of my form to enter in details of
anywhere from one to three properties, either by repeating the form code or
by some other device of which I'm presently unaware, at the same time.
2. I need to be able to make the fields, in the first instance of the part
of the form dealing with property details, required fields, but not any of
the other instances.
I'd appreciate any advice.
