Here's what finally worked:
Please send me more information on the following services:
<cfloop from="100" to="800" step="10" index="i">
<cfif (isDefined("form.service" & i)) AND (evaluate("form.service" & i)
NEQ "")>
<cfset tempValue = form["service" & i]>
#tempValue# <br>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
The reason each checkbox has a unique name (service + number) is so the form
can "autocheck" a particular service. Let's say a customer is on the
"Fluorescent Bulb Disposal" page and hits the "Send Me More Info" button.
The form comes up with "Fluorescent Bulb Disposal" (service 370) already
checked. They can then look over the list and see if they want information
on anything else while they're at it.
I could use the service value as the checkbox value, but then I'd have to
build a lookup table with 80 services listed to see what names to put on the
response email that went out. The client that owns the site doesn't have
code numbers or anything for the services, I assigned those. Client only
goes by the Service Names....
Works great now! Thanks everybody!

Les,
You may want to consider a different approach.
For example, you could give all of the "service" checkboxes one name, as in
NAME="Service," and specify the service code in the value, as in
VALUE="100."
The value of each "checked" checkbox will be appended to FORM.service so, on
the action page, you could just do a list loop over that variable to get at
the values, like this:
The following service have been selected:
<cfloop list="#form.service#" index="service">
#service#<br>
</cfloop>
Seems simpler...which is always my goal. :)
