James, You can refer to a query record set using array/object notation:
<cfset value = Recordset1[ "client_#directories.Name#" ][ Recordset1.CurrentRow ] /> More generally, you can refer to a record set like this: RECORSET[ COLUMN_NAME ][ ROW_NUMBER ] Hope that helps. ......................

This way the client needs to be able to create and rename fields. Consequently, when it comes to displaying contents of a recordset, i need to be able to list the fields dynamically. I need the code below: <cfif (#Recordset1.client_ongoingcontracts# EQ 1)>checked="checked"</cfif> to work like this: <cfif (#Recordset1.client_(directories.Name)# EQ 1)>checked="checked"</cfif> directories.Name is the variable pulling in from a cfdirectory listing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:258673 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
