I've tried the Evaluate() example you provided but now I'm getting an
error that my variable is undefined.
This is the code I've been using for testing...
<cfparam name="thisOtherThing" type="numeric" default="1">
<cfset thisOtherThing=Evaluate("qty_adjust#theid#.current_qty.value")>
<form name="qty_adjust#theid#"
action="#cgi.script_name#?co=enable&action=recalc" method="post">
<input size="1" type="Text" value="#thisOtherThing#"
name="current_qty" />
Thanks for the help,
Phil
