Perfect, that part with the getstates query is exactly what I was looking for!
We already had a table with states and abbreviations made, so it saved having
to do a 50-item cfswitch.
Thank you all so much for your help!

Melissa,
This is exactly what ColdFusion is designed
But of course. Was just pointing out that it appeared she was only going
to use it once. It's up to the programmer to either code it properly or
delete it when they are through.

I do a lot o

Ok so basically this is a query you want to run ONE time to get the
initial data set into the database? I'm assuming you'd be putting the
page "content" and "title" in later?
I would do something as basic as...
Select the states
select state, id from states
Loop through the query...
If

OK. SO I am a litle nervous. All these big dogs of CF and I am trying to pitch
in.
Anyway. Shouldn't this be handled in the Query statement? I will let someone
else handle the specifics now that I have completely screwed it up

It's generally a bad idea to specify identity values into your code,
especially for ones that are auto-incrementing. If you have to move your
code to another server or even re-create your data, the identity values
could change which would force you to edit your code. You could just pass
the State

Melissa,
This would be in your Query statement.

Thanks for the welcoming answers. :) I am relatively new to ColdFusion, but I
may have misstated my question; it's not the pulling information from the
database I'm not sure how to do, it's the setting the database up (efficiently)
in the first place.
I figure each record will need five fields:
Melissa,
I am not sure, but it sounds like you may be new to ColdFusion. If so, you have
chosen a great language for programming dynamic websites quickly and easily. If
I am wrong, please forgive me. Otherwise, I would recommend you get a book by
Ben Forta on Adobe ColdFusion. You will probably
Melissa,
This is exactly what ColdFusion is designed to do. You will have ten
separate ".cfm" files and each of the files represents one of your 10 pages.
Whatever information is 'static' for each page (in other words, whatever
information stays the same for every state) can be hardcoded into the
16 matches
