Listbox cfloop two different tables

Question

What i'm trying to do is this:
On my edit page I have a listbox that needs to be pre-filled
with people already selected. But here is my problem - I have one
table named "people" and another named "records". Now the "people"
table have their permissions in it, and the records table has a
field that list the people (ie. susie,lisa,jason) that were
selected. So, my list box needs to hit the "peoples" table to pull
everyone that has the correct permissions (in case they need to add
someone) AND the records table so that I can retrieve who was
previously entered. Right now my code looks like this:
<cfquery name="qry_people">
select *
from people
where permissions = 3
</cfquery>
<cfquery name="qry_support_people">
select support_people
from reocords
where id = #id#
</cfquery>
<select name="support_people" multiple>
<cfloop query="qry_people">
<cfloop list="#qry_support_people#" index="i">
<option value="<cfoutput>#people#</cfoutput>"
<cfif #people# IS
i>selected</cfif>><cfoutput>#people#</cfoutput></option>
</cfloop>
</cfloop>
</select>
Right now this ALMOST works - it grabs everyone from the
"people" table AND it even highlights the ones that are
pre-selected from the "records" table.... BUT each name appears
TWICE.....Why? I've tried changing the one cfloop to cfoutput, but
then I don't get the whole list of names. Any help would be great -
THANKS!

Answer 1

<select name="support_people" multiple>
<cfoutput query="qry_people">
<cfif listfind(qry_support_people.support_people,
qry_people.people)>
<option value="#qry_people.people#"
selected>#qry_people.people#</option>
<cfese>
<option value="#qry_people.people#"
>#qry_people.people#</option>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
</select>
but, really, do yourself a favour and normalize your db...
with table
setup like yours you are bound to hit many problems, if not
right now
then later...
