Dude, Just set the variable name into an application-level variable:
<cfset APPLICATION.Constants.DepartmentName = "epidemiology and biostatistics" /> ..... Then use .... <cfset page_location = APPLICATION.Constants.DepartmentName> .... Or something to that effect. No need to keep it in a file. .......................

I have a bit of text that I want to represent in alot of places ("epidemiology and biostatistics") and wish to do: <cfinclude template='department_name.cfm'> which is just "epidemiology and biostatistics" I also have a variable this is used in alot of places that I also need to set to this text: <cfset page_location = "epidemiology and biostatistics"> It would be nice if I could set page_location to the cfinclude, but not only does it not work, it looks silly: <cfset page_location = <cfinclude template='department_name.cfm'>> How would I do this ? page_location is used in other modules not owned by this, so I need to keep that variable and just set it to the included information. thanks. -- Daniel Kessler College of Health and Human Performance University of Maryland Suite 2387 Valley Drive College Park, MD 20742-2611 Phone: 301-405-2545 http://hhp.umd.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:252036 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
