Hi, If it is CF8 then you can use CF Debugger (Eclipse plugin for CF debugger) to trace the origin of the variable.
IF it is CF7, then I would suggest you to turn on the Debugging options form the CF admin. And then run your template, so once the page is displayed then you will see the Debug Info at the end of the page. One section would be regarding the "Executed Templates". You can search all the files under this section to trace the origin of your variable for the requested template execution. For searching the variables I would recommend you to use DreamWeaver or other similar IDEs, which can search over the specified directory. Hope this helps.

I've got an old ecommerce app that I have to optimize and one thing I can do is remove the mass of queries in the request scope. To do this I need to see where the request is being set and where its being used. If there is no tracing program, can anyone suggest a really good file search program like windows explorer but that actually works on .cfm and .cfc templates?
