You can't parse CF code in a variable, it has to exist as a file on the server.
That being said, I've heard of various people creating a ramdisk on their server, pulling the CF code from the database, writting it to the ramdisk, and then CFINCLUDEing it into their app. However, that was before CFMX and it's precompilation cycle, so that won't work anymore (unless you like waiting for the java compiler to spin up every request). You could probably write your cf code, compile it, and the write the .class file to the database and extract that and write it to the CF cfclasses directory after computing the appropriate filename and including it that way, although that'd be a messy proposition. Bottom line, I think you're out of luck, at least with CF. I know you can embed SSI commands in your CF code and the web server (if it supports it) will process them in the returned content. You might be able to leverage that to some degree, depending on what you're doing, but no dynamic CF. barneyb > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael J.
