Maybe I'm just having a brain malfunction, but I'm trying to create a cfloop and am getting "cannot convert x to a number"...

Here's what I have:

<cfset #myNumber# = 3000>
<cfoutput query="myQuery">
<tr>
<td><cfloop index="i" from="#myNumber#" to="#myNumber# + 5" step="1">#i#<br></cfloop>
</tr>
</cfoutput>

Basically, I want to start at 3000 at the beginning, then at each grouping of the output, show 5 increments...

Is this what you want?

<cfset myNumber = 3000>
<cfoutput query="myQuery" group="column_to_group_by">
<tr>
<cfloop index="i" from="#myNumber#" to="#myNumber# + 5" step="1">
<td>#i#</td>
</cfloop>
</tr>
</cfoutput>

Try taking the query attribute out of your cfoutput tag.
