auto select with select box

Thanks that works great just changed selected="two" to selected="'#service#" and it works perfect

I never code it the way you do, so I tried it. This won't work:
<cfform action="abc.cfm" method="post">
<cfselect name="abc" selected="two">

<option value="one">one</option>
<option value="two">two</option>
</cfselect>
</cfform>

This will
<cfscript>
MyQuery = QueryNew("field1", "varchar");
x = QueryAddRow(MyQuery, 2);
x = QuerySetCell(MyQuery, "field1","one", 1);
x = QuerySetCell(MyQuery, "field1","two", 2);
</cfscript>
<cfform action="abc.cfm" method="post">
<cfselect name="abc" query="MyQuery" value="field1" display="field1" selected="two"></cfselect>
</cfform>

With those url variables, your structkeyexists functions will return false 100% of the time.

For the selected="#url.service#" method, you are probably experiencing difficulty because of the spaces. Try it with Training. That's only 1 word.

Yeah. I have the following code on each services

<a href="moreinfo.cfm?service=Search Engine Optimization">Click here for Further Information</a>
<a href="moreinfo.cfm?service=Training">Click here for Further Information</a>
<a href="moreinfo.cfm?service=Project Management">Click here for Further Information</a>

What was the value of url.service when the cfselect method did not work?

In your second method, are you sure that you have url variables named UK Immigration, WorkGroup Consultancy, etc?

<cfselect selected="#url.service#">
