URL variables are generally passed as key/value pairs. index.cfm?foo=bar
<cfoutput>#URL.foo#</cfoutput> results in.. bar. only strings can be passed in URLs. you can't pass a complex datatype (like a query, structure, array, etc). Not without something like serializing it into WDDX (essentially 'converts' a complex datatype to a string...but not generally something you'd want to pass in a URL). http://depressedpress.com/Content/Development/ColdFusion/Guides/Variables/Index.cfm (i seem to recall pasting you that URL once before...?)
