If you want a form field, why use Evaluate? Just treat the form field as a
struct key.
<cfset thelist = "">
<cfloop from="1" to="3" index="id">
<cfset tempvalue = "fieldnum#id#">
<cfset thevalue = Form[tempvalue]>
<cfset thelist = ListAppend(thelist, thevalue)>
</cfloop>
or even shorter...
<cfset thelist = "">
<cfloop from="1" to="3" index="id">
<cfset thevalue = Form["fieldnum#id#"]>
<cfset thelist = ListAppend(thelist, thevalue)>
</cfloop>
