  You could try...

  <cfset session.name = "Bob">

  <cfoutput query="getdata">
  #Evaluate(DE(messagetext))#
  </cfoutput>

  not sure if there's a better way if you continue to store session.name as
a
  string in the DB. Would it not be better to replace session.name with an
  identifier that you replace with the name when outputting?

  Hope that helps

    I have a DB text field that I display, but one of the words in the
    text field needs to be a session variable. How do I tell CF
    to output the variable value as opposed to the text.

    Here is what I have:

    <cfset session.name = "Bob">

    <cfoutput query="getdata">
    #messagetext#
    </cfoutput>

    The #messagetext# variable contains this, for example:
    "Hello #session.name#, how are you".
