You can use the SetVariable function, or use a string within a CFSET: <cfset myvar = "foo"> <cfset rs = SetVariable(myvar, "foovalue")> or <cfset "#myvar#" = "foovalue"> Or, if you're using a newer version of CF, and the scope within which you want to set the variable is a structure, you can use array syntax: <cfset Session[myvar] = "foovalue"> Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ voice: (202) 797-5496 fax: (202) 797-5444 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
