I am not sure how to ask the question, but here goes. I have a multiline survey storing data about a specific project. I want to store the data in the following fields:
proj_id
strat_issue
strat_goal
strat_obj
strat_value

here is an example of my code

<form action="strat_survey.cfm?update=gogo" method="post">
 
  <table width="90%" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#CCCCCC">
  <tr>
    <td colspan="3" align="center"><strong><font color="#0000FF">Project Alignment 
      with 2007-2010 STRATEGIC ISSUES, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES</font></strong></td>
    <td><font size="2"><strong>Project Aligns with Objective</strong></font></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td colspan="3"><strong>Service Delivery - It is critical that we employ strategies 
      to ensure excellent service delivery.</strong></td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td width="2%">&nbsp;</td>
    <td width="2%">1</td>
    <td width="86%">Develop a comprehensive Customer Service Action Plan to enhance 
      the delivery of Department services.</td>
      <td width="10%">&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>1.1 Establish methods to continually assess internal and external customer 
      satisfaction.</td>
      <td> <input type="checkbox" name="strat_value" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="strat_issue" value="Service Delivery"> 
        <input type="hidden" name="strag_goal" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="strat_ob" value="1.1"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>1.2 Implement service level improvements to assist customers and improve 
      efficiency and effectiveness. (wait times, credit cards)</td>
      <td> <input type="checkbox" name="value2" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="strat_issue" value="Service Delivery"> 
        <input type="hidden" name="strat_goal" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="strat_obj" value="1.2"></td>
  </tr>
</table>

This insert code only inserts the same value for all fields

<cfquery name="strat_post" datasource="#request.dsn#">
			INSERT INTO proj_strat_align
			(strat_issue,strat_goal,strat_obj,strat_value)
			values
			('#form.strat_issue#','#form.strat_goal#','#strat_obj#','#strat_value#')
			</cfquery>

Thanks

One thing to check is to cfdump the form structure and make sure that the data from the form is correct.

<cfdump var="#form#">

Do you have any <cfset> statements that could be over-writing the value of those form variables? If possible, please post the entire strat_survey.cfm page so we can look at it more thoroughly.

Thanks

Here are the results from the CFDUMP
struct
FIELDNAMES STRAT_VALUE,STRAT_ISSUE,STRAG_GOAL,STRAT_OBJ,VALUE2,STRAT_GOAL
SEARCHSTRING [empty string]
STRAG_GOAL 1
STRAT_GOAL 1
STRAT_ISSUE Service Delivery,Service Delivery
STRAT_OBJ 1.1,1.2
STRAT_VALUE 1
VALUE2 1

Here is how the data was stored

recnum; 22
recdate: 04/21/2008
blog_id:
strat_issue: Service Delivery,Service Delivery
strat_goal: 1
Strat_obJ: 1.1,1.2
strat_value: 1

I need it to update two records, like this

1.
recnum 1
recdate 04/21/2008
blog_ID
strat_issue Server Delivery
strat_goal 1
strag_obj 1.1
strat_value 1

2.
recnum 1
recdate 04/21/2008
blog_ID
strat_issue Server Delivery
strat_goal 1
strag_obj 1.2
strat_value 1

I'll have a look at it tomorrow and see if I can help.

At first glance - looks like you have a typo:

<input type="hidden" name="strag_goal" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="strat_ob" value="1.1">

name="strat_obj" ??

you have done a lot of mistakes. forward your pages to me.
