Actually the numeric value can be used to do this too in what is called the pattern of indirection. Put all of the fixed values, i.e. the order by clauses, into an array. When the user selects a value it is the ordinal position of the value in the array. Before referencing the array you can validate the value is numeric and between 0 and arrayLen - 1. You can safely reference the value directly in the cfquery at this point. I commonly use this pattern for things like account numbers I am presenting to a user, this is a good mechanism to prevent the user from attempting to put in a value other than the ones presented to him on the form. -dhs ------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Sponsor FigLeaf Software - http://www.figleaf.com To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
