Since it wasn't explicitly mentioned, and to sing home the point made by others, you can also do stuff like this...
<cfset who = "Users"> <!--- this is the one that wasn't exampled ---> <cfset "qry#who#" = qryPeople> <cfset queryName = "qry" & who> <!--- as Barry mentioned ---> <cfoutput query="#queryName#"> </cfoutput> <!--- pretty sure you can do this too ---> <cfoutput query=queryName> </cfoutput> IMO, It's only a bit confusing because some tags will expect a value, and some will expect a string that will be auto evaluated to get the value ie cfquery.
