yes, despite what someone said earlier, the FORM is a structure in 4.5+.

Subject: RE:Dave: Kooky Form Field/List question.
Dave,
The solution looping over list is working, but I'm not getting what you're
saying about looping over the structure. I cant seem to access the form as
a structure. I'm on CFServer 4.0. Could that be the problem? Special
feature of 4.5?
Thanks
Willy

Use the Evaluate function to determine the value of a variable whose name
you don't know until runtime:
#test#: #Evaluate("Form." & test)#
In addition, rather than looping over the FIELDNAMES string, you might be
better served by looping over the Form structure itself:
<cfoutput>
<cfloop collection="#Form#" item="i">
#i#: #Evaluate("Form." & i)#
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
This way, if you have any duplicate field names, such as you'd get with
checkbox arrays, you'll output the fieldname once, followed by a
comma-delimited list of selected values.
