Hi,

Is there any way to override a form variable that is being passed. Would it be
done via cfif?
....
Ok, that's a bit vague, so I'll try to clarify (I'm a little tired so bear
with me :confused;). I have the user fill out a form adding a new part to their
inventory. If there going to take some parts out of the new stock there putting
in to the database, it would leave a net amount (Gross amount being what was
originally going to be inserted). So, on the update page, would I put that cfif
statement in saying

<cfif #FORM.resNet# NEQ "">
    <cfset #FORM.sOnHand# EQ #FORM.resNet#>
</cfif>

resNet being the resultant total of the previous calculation and sOnHand being
the previous amount (gross) that would have been inserted in the form if the
resNet field would have been left blank.

I [b]hope[/b] my point got across.

Thank you in advance!
