erm, can't you do the update and a select in the same cfquery block? If your'e using SQLserver u can anyway, as long as the cfquery only returns one recordset, e.g.
----------------- <cfquery name=test datasource="#request.dsn#"> begin transaction update tblTable set value1=1 where id=1; select value1 from tblTable where id=1; commit transaction </cfquery> <cfoutput>#test.value1#</cfoutput> ----------------- That's crappy example and a bit pointless, but you should understand what I'm getting at. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Everland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 15 November 2001 15:58 To: CF-Talk Subject: Is this SQL trick possible Is there anyway I can get the value of a field that I update without having to do a query first.
