Well, I got it. But thanks to those who helped. All I needed was single quotes around my #url.ColleagueID# like so: <cfquery datasource="Evaluation"> UPDATE #url.LineNumber# SET Accessed = '1' WHERE ColleagueID = '#url.ColleagueID#' </cfquery> I know this is a little weird but it works. Any explanations or is this right? </ml>
