James,
Coldfusion does not have any functions that will handle this
natively, but you could dynamically set the form name.
<cfset thisForm = "myFormName">
<cfoutput>
<CFFORM NAME="#thisForm#" ACTION="Foo.cfm">
<CFSET formName = thisForm>
</CFFORM>
#formName#
</cfoutput>

Subject: getting NAME attribute of a CFFORM ancestor
> Hi all,
> any body know if it's possible to get, programmatically, the
value of the Name attribute of an ancestor CFFORM tag... that is
something like this pseudocode (simplified use),
>
> <CFFORM NAME="Blah" ACTION="Foo.cfm">
>
> <CFSET formName = getAncestorAttribute("CFFORM",
"Name")>
>
> </CFFORM>
>
>
> I tried using getBaseTagData("CFFORM") but apparently (in CF's
words...)
> "The parameter combination of function GetBaseTagData does not
specify a base tag that exposes any data. "
>
> If you're wondering, it's for use in a custom tag that writes
some augmented form fields for use in a CFFORM, sure I could pass
the custom tag a FormName attribute, but I figure that seeing as
you don't have to do <CFINPUT FORMNAME="Blah" TYPE="TEXT"....>
that you shouldn't have to do <CF_INPUT FORMNAME="Blah"
Type="IMAGE"....> either.
