There are a couple of ways you can achieve this.
One way is to simply pass in the name of the variable, and within the custom
tag, use the Caller scope to retrieve the value of the variable. So, using
your example, you might have a custom tag call like this:
<cfset ProductName = "FooBar">
<cfmodule template="qryMyQuery.cfm" vartouse="ProductName">
Then, within your custom tag, you could have something like this:
<cfset rs = SetVariable(Attributes.vartouse, Evaluate("Caller." &
Attributes.vartouse))>
This would create a local variable within the custom tag called ProductName
with the value of "FooBar".
Another way would be to simply pass whatever you want to the custom tag, and
within the custom tag, to loop through the Attributes scope.
