If you have: <cfset variables.my_var = "#query.column#"> That tells me that there is a variable being set and it is a string <cfset variables.my_var = "query.column"> Am I setting my variable to the two words seperated by a period, query.column? or to a variable query.column? --------------------------- I missed the start of this thread, but this seems like a small but important tangent to get straight... Doesn't the second CFSET set the variable to the string "query.column"? I imagine the real debate is between: <cfset variables.my_var = "#query.column#"> and <cfset variables.my_var = query.column> If we're pitching in, I usually prefer the second if your only using that variable. Studio colour coding means it's easy to see you're referring to a variable... If you're concatenating, though I find it easier to use <cfset variables.my_var = "The column value is: #query.column#"> rather than <cfset variables.my_var = "The column value is:" & query.column> Again, colour coding makes the first one easier to scan.
