You could do a "while" condition if you didn't want to use "FORM.FieldNames"
(for instance, if you had other form vars that were getting passed along
that you didn't want to deal with):
<CFSET i = 1>
<CFSET lstFormVarList = ''>
<CFLOOP Condition="isDefined('FORM.Section' & i)">
<CFSET lstFormVars = lstFormVars & 'FORM.Section#i#' & ','>
<CFSET i = i + 1>
</CFLOOP>
Then to get their values, you can loop through the list and Evaluate() each
variable.
--OR--
take what FORM.FieldNames gives you and Evaluate them to get the values:
<CFLOOP From="1" To="#ListLen(FORM.FieldNames)#" Index="j">
<CFSET somevalue = Evaluate('FORM.' & ListGetAt(FORM.FieldNames, j))
</CFLOOP>
HTH,

p.s., this is NOT tested... but barring any syntax errors (heh... or logic
errors), it should work.
