I have this working using session variables, and it's no big deal, but there must be another way to do this. Basically, what I want to be able to do is append a counter variable to an existing variable name. For instance, let's assume the following truncated working code: <cfset mail_recipients = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"> <cfset session.db_name1 = "d:\serverpath\databases\admin.mdb"> <cfset session.db_name2 = "d:\serverpath\databases\answer.mdb"> <cfset session.title1 = "Admin Database"> <cfset session.title2 = "Answer Database"> <!-- loop over the variables, gzip the db and send the email ---> <cfloop from="1" to ="2" index="i"> <cfx_gzip action = "gzip" infile = "#session['db_name'&i]#" level = "9"> <cffile action = "move" source = "#session['db_name'&i]#.gz" destination = "#session['db_name'&i]#.gz"> <cfmail to = #mail_recipients# from = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" subject = "LDC #session['title'&i]# for #DateFormat(Now(),"yyyy-Mm-dd")#"> <CFMAILPARAM FILE="#session['db_name'&i]#.gz"> </cfmail> </cfloop> Appending the relevant i counter to the db_name and title works fine as long as I use session variables with that syntax eg ="#session['db_name'&i]#. But there must be a way to do this without having to use sessions. Any ideas? I tried changing session to attributes and also variables, but both throw a wobbly and say they can't find #attributes['db_name'&i]# ... I forgot to mention, I'm on a CF5 server here. TIA Mark
