Sorry to ask such a basic question, but how do I pass a value (not input by user) from one page to another?
For example, I am creating a CMS set of pages. The first page lists all the tables I have in the datasource eg

Tutorials
Menus
Knowledgebase
etc

When I click on one of the choices, I want to link to a form that then lists the current contents of that table - so the conditional syntax on the action page might be

if <passed variable>="tutorials" then
CFQuery....
select * from TutorialTable
elseif <passed variable>="menus" then
CFQuery,#...
select * from Menustable

etc etc

Any ideas?

Many Thanks
 
What is CMS? Is it Content Mamagement System?

Anyway, just a little information on what you've done so far would go a long ways to getting you some help. i.e. are these "choice" links, buttons, form elements???
