This should work: #Request.thisQuery["Name"]#
-Ryan -----Original Message----- From: Mike Alberts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 3:51 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Using Evaluate Hello All, I've read many of you discouraging the use of the 'Evaluate' function, for performance reasons. So I ask ... Say I have code like this (within a cfoutput): #Evaluate(Request.ThisQuery & ".Name")#, where Request.ThisQuery is the name of a query that I set and ".Name" refers to a column in the table that I am querying. Obviously this returns the value of the column for that particular record. 1. Is there another way to code this to not use Evaluate? 2. If there ISN'T another way, would I be better off from a performance standpoint to run the Evaluate function once and set a variable with the value that it returns and just call that variable, instead of using Evaluate multiple times in the page (hope that made sense)? Thanks for any help, Mike Alberts ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
