Re: CFQuery to Database
if its just a few records then use query of query to get your subset of results and then insert the results into database B if this is a regular occurrence and happens often then then you may want to look at creating a DTS script on your SQL server and scheduling that to do the job.

Re: Fw: CFQuery of database tables
Winston, I think queryName.ColumnList will help you out (where 'queryName' is the name of your query). It contains a comma-delimited list of all the column names returned by the query. To do what you want you'll need an outer loop over your query results, and then an inner loop that goes over each item in the queryName.ColumnList and displays it's value (you'll need to use Evaluate() for this last part). If you could, please post messages in plain text format, they're easier to read that way and take up less bandwidth. Thanks. Hope that helps, -Max ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: CFGurus: A CFQuery and database question
You need to put an onChange attribute in your SELECT
tag, so that whenever you select an option from the
list, that name/value pair is submitted to whatever
you specify in your onChange event.
script language=javascript
function doSub{
this.form.submit;
return true;
}
/script
select action=xyz method=post name=abc
onChange=doSub();
option value=1klm/option
option value=2ijk/option
/select
Hope that helps
