I thought I'd done something like this before, but can't locate similar code.
Creating a news marquee that can be made up of from 1-5 text fields contained in a larger query. Possibilities are: qNews.Banner1, qNews.Banner2 ... qNews.Banner5 Am able to put them together with: <CFSet MarqMess = "News: "> <CFLoop from="1" to="5" index="b"> <CFSet qry = "qNews.banner" & b> <cfif len(trim(evaluate(variables.qry)))> <CFSet MarqMess = Variables.MarqMess & " " & evaluate(variables.qry)> </cfif> </CFLOOP> Above works, but thought there should be a way to do this not using the evaluate function. Appreciate any direction. Thanks E.
