Thanks for all the suggestions.
unfortunately I am not at my development server so can't test.
but I am going to change the code to look like this.
If you see anything that will not work please let me know.
On the form:
<CFQUERY name="getids">
get ids
</CFQUERY>
<CFOUTPUT query="getids">
<INPUT type="text" name="name_#getids.id#" value="#getids.id#">
</CFOUTPUT>
On the action page:
<CFQUERY name="getids">
get ids
</CFQUERY>
<CFOUTPUT>
form["name_#getids.id#"]
</CFOUTPUT>
again thanks for the help.

First off, I don't know if CF willbe happy with form fields named with
that syntax. I know PHP uses that syntax, but I can't promise it will
work in CF... but... try it. :)
Secondly, please, please, please do _not_ use Evaluate to get dynamic
form fields. Remember that form fields are stored in a structure. You
can rewrite
#evaluate('form.name[#getids.id#]')#
as:
Form["name[#getids.ids#]"]
Not only will the code be quicker, it will also be much easier to read.
