> Is there a time when evaluate should be used? Nick's answer is pretty much on target. It used to be the case that you needed to do this, because in some cases you had no way to reference variable names when you didn't know them until runtime. As CF's scopes became exposed as structures, the need to do this has diminished significantly.
That said, there presumably may be a time when you want to take an arbitrary string and treat it as an expression, and Evaluate will be there for you.
