Ok wait still confused...
Evaluate(WHAT?)
For instance Evaluate(surname_Comm) doesn't work
nor does Evaluate(#surname#_Comm)
Sorry just not sure how to display it properly... Was using a CFSET tag
like
<CFSET surnamecomm = Evaluate(#surname#_Comm)>
That gives an error
<CFSET surnamecomm = "Evaluate(#surname#_Comm)">
Makes surnamecomm = to Evaluate(smith_comm) instead of just smith_comm
I am probably missing something minor...

Evaluate()
Use that to find the value of the vars you are dynamically building the
names for
