Use Listfind <Cfif Listfind(varName, 1)> do A
<cfelseif Listfind(varName, 2)> do B </cfif> Listfind will work without throwing an error - even if the VarName is an empty string. Mark -----Original Message----- From: LANCASTER, STEVEN M. (JSC-OL) (BAR) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 12, 2002 3:54 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: SQL in a CFIF Let me give an understanding of what I am doing. I have a variable that is passing one or up to three numbers. The numbers are passed like this: 1, 2, 3 or 1 or 1,2. My problem is I need to check to see if the the number is listed in the #variable#. so That I can go from there. My application works as long as my variable is only passing one number. If it passes 2 numbers my query doesn't like it. I have a query based on the variable 2 being in there. Any help would be appreciated. I am going crazy trying to figure it out.
