CFLOOP Problem
Hi, I am having a frustrating time with this loop. My code is in a CFC. I have the business requirement that a user is NOT required to fill in values in the form fields, but if they fill in a value in ONE form field, then the rest of the form fields MUST contain values as well. The form fields are dynamical... 22 Apr 2008 21:12

Using Query Results in Queries
I understand how to "Using Query Results in Queries" through this link: http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/coldfusion/5.0/Developing_ColdFusion_Applications/ queryDB11.htm; However, does anyone know how to do this inside a component? note: the first query gets parameters through a form and the second query is calle... 22 Apr 2008 19:37

CFFILE question
I'm trying to read a .cfm file on my server with cffile. This is working okay, except that there is some coldfusion code in that file, and when I write it out, it does not work.

searching multiple ldap servers
We have a primary and secondary (failover) ldap servers. Can CFLDAP be coded such that both get searched or the secondary searched only if the first fails?

Question on storing queries in session arrays
I'm curious how much memory storing queries in session arrays take up. The query results themselves (about 5-6) are small, not more than 100 records. The site traffic is low, not more than 100k a month but is expected to jump to over 1 million. The web server (primary and failover) are beefy systems, I believe ... 24 Apr 2008 11:03

can you not set a variable that's in the same scope as a query structure
FYI, just a note of caution. When using the solution that I posted, if your query returns more than one row, and you use CFSET after your CFQUERY to set the pseudo column with a value, only [b]one row[/b] will have a value set and the remaining rows will still be NULL. If you do something like this instead, a... 22 Apr 2008 20:24
