    Default faking a form scope

    I'm setting up dynamic variables that need to mimic a form scope. currently,
    I'm setting them like:

    <cfset FORM[#CurrentColumnName#] = #trim(RowArray[x])#>

    This was fine, but lately seems to be causing problems. Can someone tell me
    if this is incorrect. I need to reference the variables like "form.firstname".
    The "firstname" part comes from a table, so I need to set this dynamically.
    If there is a better way, please let me know.

    Thanks.

    Default Re: faking a form scope

    That is fine. However you do not need any of those #s in there.

    ie <cfset FORM[CurrentColumnName] = Trim(RowArray[x])>

    Default Re: faking a form scope

    You might have better luck with this syntax:

    <cfset "FORM.#CurrentColumnName#" = Trim(RowArray[x])>
