Thanks a bunch! I've been wrestling with this for the last ~30 minutes, and a little pair of quotes was all I was missing... :-)
Take care,

To create a dynamic variable name you need to use evaluate().This function lets you concatenate variables and/or strings to create a variable name and then evaluates that variable to its value.

I'm sorry Maija, but you should never ever user evaluate() It's a total overload for coldfusion. The best way is the way described above, this has no impact on performance and the evaluate() function is really bad for performance. Please don't ever use this function again, or be very very sure that you absolutly have to.
