First, 0806 is an invalid variable name because it starts with asomething other than a letter and sooner or later, you will probably run into a wall but you CAN use it. Try this...
<cfset form['0806'] = 'duh' /> <cfoutput>#form['0806']#</cfoutput> I'd recommend coming up with a different naming convention though. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

On the action page, if I check for its existence - cfif isdefined("form.0806") - it tells me that Parameter 1 of function IsDefined, which is now "form.0806", must be a syntactically valid variable name. Does anyone know of any workaround for this? Can I put an evaluate in there or something? I'm looking for something more elegant than looping through form fields and preceeding each field name with a char. Thank you in advance.
