alternatives to evaluate in cfloop

Hi Ray Still no go. Just to avoid confusuion I changed the index to items so I don't get confused with variable scope. <cfloop list="#variableNames#"  index="items" delimiters = ","> and then <cfif structKeyExists(form, items) and form[items] is ""> doesn't generate any appropriate error messages when an entry is ommitted. When I just use <cfif form[items] is ""> I get the scope error (same if I use variables[items] Thanks for you help on this.
