CF Form isn't updating field values into the database

I create this form that is supposed enable a user to insert records into a table.  However when I click on the save button it just takes me back to the action page without inserting the data.  I have the code that displays the form on one page and the qry to insert the form field values on another page.  Also, our company uses Oracle for its database

                                                                        HERE IS THE CODE FOR THE FORM PAGE

<cfinclude template="qry_update.cfm">

<cfform name="addrec" action="index.cfm?" method="post">
  <table width="379" border="1">

I wasn't before but now I made some corrections.  And I receive this error

 unique constraint (TableName.PK_COOP_PREAPPROVALS) violated

I solved the problem, what happened was that I wasn't using CGI.Variable scripts in the cfform action tag.  Everything works now. Please close this question
cool, glad you figured it out ;o)
I agree to PAQ/Refund, rudodoo was able to solve the issue, no help needed from me. rudodoo provided the solution on 11/08/2006 12:26PM PST and has responded to comments..
