Hey all,  
I am trying to make a survey using coldfusion and part of the survey is a checkbox section. The problem arises when I don’t have all the checkboxes checked. It is saying the value I am trying to submit to the database is undefined, which it is.

So I did cfparam but it didn’t work. I also tried checking before inserting into the database that the field is defined and if not to create one with a null value and to insert that but isn’t working either… any idea’s or links to a guide would be much appreciated.
