    <CFOUTPUT>
    <P>This string only has #Len(MyString)#
    characters; therefore, you cannot insert the substring
    #FORM.mySubString# at position #FORM.insertPosition#.
    </CFOUTPUT>
<CFELSE>
    <CFOUTPUT>
    <P>You inserted the substring #FORM.MySubstring# into the 
    string #FORM.MyString#, resulting in the following 
    string:
<BR>#Insert(FORM.MySubString, FORM.myString, FORM.insertposition)#
    </CFOUTPUT>
