    <!--- Shows an example of IsQuery and IsSimpleValue --->
    <h3>IsSimpleValue Example</h3>
    <!--- define a variable called "GetEmployees" --->
    <cfparam name = "GetEmployees" default = "#Now()#">

    <p>Before the query is run, the value of GetEmployees is
    <cfoutput>#GetEmployees#</cfoutput>

    <cfif IsSimpleValue(GetEmployees)>
       <p>GetEmployees is currently a simple value
    </cfif>
    <!--- make a query on the snippets datasource --->
    <cfquery name = "GetEmployees" datasource = "cfsnippets">
    SELECT *
    FROM employees
    </cfquery>
    <p>After the query is run, GetEmployees contains a number of rows
    that look like this (display limited to three rows):
    <cfoutput QUERY = "GetEmployees" MaxRows = "3">
    <pre>#Emp_ID# #FirstName# #LastName#</pre>
    </cfoutput>

    <cfif IsQuery(GetEmployees)>

    </cfif>
