Can the delimiter in a CFSELECT-multiple be changed before using the list it creates?

Question

I am using a CFSELECT which allows multiple selections, and I
am feeding the results into a query which returns information about
all of the selections. However, some of the values being returned
contain commas because the values are company names (Acme, Inc.)
and this conflicts with the comma-delimiting being looked for by
the ListQualify I am using in the query to look up the information
based upon the selections.
Is there a way to change the delimiter of either the CFSELECT
or the list it generates? I have tried ListChangeDelims before the
query, but it changes both the delimiter commas and the value
commas, obviously. I don't believe there is a way to change the
delimiter commas between creating the list in the CFSELECT and
using it in the ListQualify, but there are so many of you CF
geniuses out there, one of you has to know how to do this.
I am happy to provide more information or attempt to clarify
a point upon request.
My thanks in advance for your consideration and help,
Jim

Thank you for the suggestion, Dan. I wish it was that simple.
I am working with a table in which the company name is entered for
each record and has no link to any other table, there is no company
table. I could create a company table and switch-out the company
name with it's new id, but I'd rather not have to change several
thousand records. Plus, with new records being added all the time,
how would the users enter company names if the names aren't already
in this new table?
The point may be moot, in addition, as there are numerous
scenarios in which one may have a field that contains commas for a
number of reasons. Regardless of why the commas are used, the fact
that they can be used is important and what needs to be addressed.
Is there a way to leave the commas in the records and change the
delimiter put in the list?
Thanks again,
Jim
