Hi,
The problem is that the hyphen ('-') isn't allowed in a variable name. This is a CF
spec/limitation. That would include URL and form variable names. Try an underscore.
Or, if you can't control the name of the URL variable (for some reason), you'll need
to do some CGI.QUERY_STRING parsing and replace any hyphens with underscores in the
variable name, before you try to use the variable in your CFML.
HTH,
