I have a form that will post to a CF page. The form has two fields to fill in with names 'Password and Password2.'
I have the following code in my CF page:

<CFIF #Password# NEQ #Password2# OR
LEN(TRIM(Form.Password)LTE 0)>
<CFSET Error1=&quot;Please Check Password.<br>&quot;>
</CFIF>

But I keep getting an error message saying that the variable password is undefined. Why? Any help would be great.. thanks.

looks okay to me, i bet you have a typo somewhere :)

why not include the following at the top of your page

<CFPARAM NAME=&quot;form.Password&quot; DEFAULT=&quot;&quot;>
<CFPARAM NAME=&quot;form.Password2&quot; DEFAULT=&quot;&quot;>

then i believe your logic will still work the way it stands

Thanks. I'll have to double, triple check it then. I had CFSET, but CFPARAM would be better . Thanks.

Ok. Here goes. There's gonna be a lot of text here, and I can understand if nobody wants to look through but I can't figure out what's wrong so I thought I'd just post everything. What I'm trying to achive is to have th CF 2nd CF page to check the data entered in the form to see if the essential info is there, if not it will return to the form and explain what is wrong. here is the form part from the first page which will post to another CF page.

I forgot. This is the error that is returned:

Variable PASSWORD is undefined.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Error Occurred in C:\CFusionMX\ line 4

2 :
3 : <CFIF Password NEQ Password2 OR
4 : LEN(TRIM(Form.Password)LTE 0)>
5 : <CFSET Error1=&quot;Please Check Password.<br>&quot;>
6 : </CFIF>
-----------------------------------------------------
the validation part is a recent addition. When I remove it it seem sto work fine, but when it's there... all the variable suddenly become &quot;Undefined&quot;. I just can't understand it.

Ah. I solved it. It was a problem with the META Refresh tag. I looked up some CF tags and found one called <CFLOCATION> which works like a treat.

OK, Looks to me like a simple orginizational goof:

<CFIF Password NEQ Password2 OR LEN(trim(password)) LTE 0>
<CFSET Error1=&quot;Please Check Password.<br>&quot;>
</cfif>

The LTE 0 moved outside the LEN call rather than inside it works as well. DeZiner
