Hi Mark, No, CF doesn't have an equivalent of anything like javascript eval() which will allow you to execute statements embedded in a string. The closest CF comes (as of yet anyway) is evaluate() which will only return an expression (variable, or variable and function calls), but won't execute statements.
So that being said, the only way to execute cf code stored in a database is to write the code to a cf template and then include that template with cfinclude or possibly cfmodule. If you've got a unique identifier on the table, it should be relatively easy to write the file (with the file name based on the unique identifier column for the table) whenever the content is updated in the database. hth Isaac Original Message ----------------------- I have a database table that holds the "body" contents of a page. (simple contentment management system) I just tried to put a cfinclude in a db record and found that CFMX does not evaluate the code. CFMX will just send the cfinclude tag to the browser, as unrendered source code, just like any other normal html tag. Is there a way I can make CFMX render CFtags that are stored in a db record? Seems like there should be an EZ way to do this. Mark W.
