Re: CFUPDATE-ing without a form
cfupdate relies on the form scope. You don't have any form fields. The formfields attribute specifies which form fields to use - from the form scope. You could theoretically do this: cfset form = url cfupdate ... But I'd recommend just using a regular update statement. - Rick ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:192742 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: CFUPDATE-ing without a form
You're going to live a much easier life if you abandon cfinsert and cfupdate. Sooner or later it will catch up to you. However, the fix to your problem is pretty simple. cfset form.task_id=url.task_id cfset form.status_id=url.status_id cfupdate... Less efficient than Rick's example, and ugly all around. You can cfset whatever you like into the form scope and use it in a cfupdate without a form post etc. Someone awhile back pointed out that cfupdate effectively uses cfqueryparam in its evil work, complete with examples, so I guess if thats true (it may not be for all I know) the above isn't quite as terrifying as it looks. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

It definately does, but cfinsert and cfupdate both have a lot of overhead... it has to query the database and determine the datatypes of each field and build the insert/update query dynamically.

CFUPDATE-ing without a form
Dear list, I have a URL variable like so: a href=viewtasks.cfm? insert=closetasktask_id=#task_id#status_id=2change status to 2/a Going to a CFUPDATE like so: CFSWITCH expression=#insert# CFCASE value=closetask CFUPDATE datasource=taskomatic tablename=tasks formfields=task_id, status_id /CFCASE /CFSWITCH I was hoping it'd change the relevant status_id to 2, but no, it doesn't seem to do anything. Not even give me an error message. Can anybody help? Is it because the FORMFIELDS aren't actually coming from a form? Thanks in advance, CK. ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: CFUPDATE-ing without a form
Yep. Use a regular query update and you'll be fine.

RE: CFUPDATE-ing without a form?
CFUPDATE expects the variables that it will be using to be in the form scope. Just hand set the variables to that scope: CFSET form.name=michael CFUPDATE will treat name as if it came in on a form and make use of it. _ From: Chris Kavanagh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 5:54 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFUPDATE-ing without a form?
