RE: Nested Query Loop Bug/Issue
On each loop, whatever values you want to use in your inner loops need to be set to a local variable in the loop. In fact, been burned so many times now I just dont bother using the loop count and alwasy set the variables I need straight after my cfloop ie #tIndex# - #output1# - #output2# Trying to access it as... Doesn't work (well, i didn't test the code but I hope you get my drift) There is a tech support somewhere about this on the MM site but I can't find much (no patience with it) any more and prefer looking elsewhere This could be described as a FEATURE of cold fusionhehehehe -Original Message- From: Tony Schreiber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 March 2003 17:04 To: CF-Talk Subject: Nested Query Loop Bug/Issue I don't know if any of you have run into this before or if it's even been mentioned (couldn't find it at mm technotes either), but I've run into a situation where the values of an outer loop referred to in an inner loop are not what you expect.

Re: Nested Query Loop Bug/Issue
That's basically what the "example" variable in my demo code does - you have to set it outside of the inner loop.

RE: Nested Query Loop Bug/Issue
This issue has been around since v4.x. :P The workaround mentioned is *the* workaround. Confirmed bug or not? Not sure. Most developers just use the workaround. :D --- James Ang Sr. Developer/Product Engineer MedSeek, Inc.

Re: Nested Query Loop Bug/Issue
Tony, That's a known problem. To work around it, just set a local variable in the outer loop equal to the value in Query1 you want to pass to Query2 and access *that* variable inside of your inner loop. ~Dina - Original Message - From: "Tony Schreiber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2003 11:04 AM Subject: Nested Query Loop Bug/Issue > I don't know if any of you have run into this before or if it's even been > mentioned (couldn't find it at mm technotes either), but I've run into a > situation where the values of an outer loop referred to in an inner loop > are not what you expect.

Re: Nested Query Loop Bug/Issue
Thanks Dina, I know the work-around (It's in my original message and used in my demo code) - I guess I was looking for how many people had run into this before and if it was an official known-issue or not, or even expceted behavior... > That's a known problem.
