initialize.

I am outputting a cfquery and I want to compare multiple columns within the same record to see which one is the largest.  Any suggestion besides a huge complicated if else statement?

I am trying to find out what the CF Function is to trim characters off a

the returned results. I got this to work, but had issues with capitalization

I am still a relative neophyte to the world of ColdFusion, but I have created
some fairly sophisticated real estate applications. I have an issue that I need
to solve and I?m not sure exactly how to approach it. I?m thinking that the
