hi guys, please excuse my ignorance, but i've been having difficulties with the follow cfloop. here are the codes: <cfquery name="GetRef" datasource="#BS#"> SELECT ref_id, first_name, last_name FROM ref </cfquery> <cfquery name="GetRefOption" datasource="#BS#"> SELECT assign_ref_id, ar.ref_id, r.first_name, r.last_name FROM assign_ref ar join ref r on r.ref_id = ar.ref_id WHERE assign_id = #URL.assign_id# ORDER BY ar.ref_id </cfquery> <cfloop query="GetRefOption"> <tr> <cfoutput> <td align="right"><b>Referee #GetRefOption.currentrow#:</b></td> <td align="left"> <input type="hidden" value="#assign_ref_id#" name="assign_ref_id">#assign_ref_id# <input type="hidden" value="#ref_id#" name="">#ref_id# <select name="ref#GetRefOption.currentrow#"> <option value=""></option> <cfloop query="GetRef"> <option value="#ref_id#" <cfif #GetRefOption.ref_id# eq #ref_id#>selected</cfif>>#first_name# <cfif last_name neq ' '>#last_name#</cfif></option> </cfloop> </select> </cfoutput> </td> </tr> </cfloop> in the first cfloop, it was able to grab the data from pass the ref_id separately. but when i used the 2nd cfloop to select if ref_id = ref_id in the table, it only pass 1 ref_id which was the most current one. please help if anyone know if there's an easier when of passing the ref_id to make it select but i also have the hidden form to pass the parameter of other id. thank you.
You could alias one of the ref_id's in your query. Here's part of the query: select ref_id as ref_id_option
