be careful with eval(). it's a lot easier to create code that will
generate errors based on the situation (those are the really hard ones to
find because you might not even come across them in debugging/testing
phase).


there was a thread on eval in CF and reasons not to use it... mabe 4
months ago. you can hit the archives at http://lists.evolt.org
