I diferentiate by looking at the id.  For a new item, its blank or not
defined so isnumeric(id) or isdefined("id") tells you whether your editing
or adding the entry.  

However, I am a bit confused as to your wording "can only get one portion of
the template to show at a time?"  Does that mean you want to show them both?

is there any other variables distinguishing between a new and an edit? if
not you should try passing a type variable that does.

Hello All,

I'm trying to develop a way to differentiate between a new record or the
editing of a previous entered record using a single template.  The user
clicks on the link which passes the variable ID to the template for the
cfif new and cfelse edit - but can only get one portion of the template
to show at a time?  I've also tried cfswitch and cfcase to no avail.  

What else should I try?  Any assistance or direction will be greatly
appreciated.  

Best regards, Ben
