you're trying to get around a valid error :)
CF variables cannot start with a numeric character and therefore you
are dealing with syntactically invalid variable names.
there are workarounds tho. <cfif isDefined("form['0806']")> might work.
I know that array notation allows you to get away with more than dot
notation does.
might be a better idea to revisit your form and see if you can preface
the field names with an alpha character or an underscore.
