<cfset user.save()>

<!--- Save the user object directly in an if statement without using `cfqueryparam` and take appropriate action based on the result --->
<cfif user.save(parameterize=false)>
    <cfset flashInsert(notice="The user was saved!")>
    <cfset redirectTo(action="userEdit")>
<cfelse>
    <cfset flashInsert(alert="Error, please correct!")>
    <cfset renderPage(action="userEdit")
