Thanks to you both... I literally just finished a test with DE() and it works a treat! Cheers!

Evaluate(DE(testString)) Should work.

Basicaly I'm in a situation where I have a string which may or may not contain variables and tags within it... eg <CFSET testString = "I am a string, to be shown #now()#, with <B>This is bold</B>"> But I'm having difficulty displaying it, #testString# parses the HTML tags but not the CF, whereas evaluate(testString) does exactly the opposite, handling the CF but falling over on the '<' ("Yes I'm sure I didn't mean LT!!")... Is there a way to handle both?
