Re: Duplicate name conflict error message
Hi Gene, Thanks for the advice and for the code. I particularly like it because it hard wire the number of properties into the application, and so allows the application to be more flexible. A few questions: > If there's a possibility of more than 3 properties, you might consider > asking a question at the beginning about how many properties > they'd like to insure. Then post the form back to itself, 1. By 'post' do you mean as in email? 2. The application has a number of templates. One contains the code for the form itself. Another is the 'engine' that updates and deletes data already entered into the database. Can I use the code you just sent to allow the field names to be looped in the query clause, so that instead of having to code SELECT PremAddress_1, PremAddress_2, PremAddress_3, etc. I could have the loop automatically done? 3. Is there a way to do the same thing for the clauses, so that instead of coding etc. I could arrange for an automatic loop? 4. How can I arrange for the number of fields in the relevant table of the database to be increased commensurately with the number of properties?

Re: Duplicate name conflict error message
You may be better off to name the property fields "property1", "property2", "property3", etc., then apply the validation as required. If there's a possibility of more than 3 properties, you might consider asking a question at the beginning about how many properties they'd like to insure. Then post the form back to itself, reading the response and using that number as the control for a loop something like this: Gene Kraybill On 22 Jun 2001, at 11:30, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Thanks for the response.

Re: Duplicate name conflict error message
Thanks for the response. You're right. The problem actually is that I have more than one field in the form with the same name. The reason for this is that the form allows users to apply for insurance to cover their property or properties. As an applicant may have more than one property to be insured, I've repeated the code in that part of the form dealing with property details three times, hence the repeat occurrance of fieldnames. At first, I only used the and tags. However, because I needed to flag the first occurrance of the various property fields as required, I changed these to and tags, but thereby ran into the problem that CF doesn't allow for repeated fieldnames (and I couldn't flag any of these fields as 'required' or 'no null allowed' in Access, since that would cause an error if an applicant had only one or two properties to be insured, and so left any of the repeated part of the form blank). Here is what I need to do: 1. I need to be able to allow users of my form to enter in details of anywhere from one to three properties, either by repeating the form code or by some other device of which I'm presently unaware, at the same time. 2. I need to be able to make the fields, in the first instance of the part of the form dealing with property details, required fields, but not any of the other instances. I'd appreciate any advice.

Re: Duplicate name conflict error message
for a cf error viewing source wouldnt help because cf is talking about template not rendered version.

I don't understand, therefore, how the message could refer to line 381, position 39. Hi Hubert, Are you counting the line numbers in your code or in the browser's output? You'll probably find that they are different, due to CF adding whitespace when it processes the page. I usually paste the "view source" output in to CF Studio so I can see the line numbers.

Re: Duplicate name conflict error message
It is probably because you have two form elements with the same name. Hope that helps. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm getting a 'Duplicate name conflict' error message.
