OK, running CF commands from a variable just won't happen - CF needs to
interpret the code from a file, so either write it to a file or use the
proper variable setting routines;
> <CFSET #evaluate("variableName")# = #evaluate("variableValue")#>
If you want to do this, then;
<cfset "#VariableName#"=Evaluate(VariableName)>
