Will,
Use the variable CGI.http_referer (ie
<cfoutput>#cgi.http_referer#</cfoutput> )
Remember this won't work if the user typed the address in the URL bar rather
than clicking a link...
Ed Zahurack believes this to a security hole - depends what you are using it
for IMO, go see:

Its also not wise to rely on it - some proxy servers (and webservers?) strip
it out as an option.
Make sure you have error handling in place and you should be fine :)
