What are the rules to using CFLOCK I have seen it posted all the
time. And just when I think that I know how to use CFLOCK I see someone
using it on almost every piece of thier code. Now I am all for something
that will make my application better, but how are we supposed to know when
we are to use CFLOCK. All session variables, all application variables? Can
someone explain it better. Also why use it around those kind of things, what
benefit does it have?

No, but with a little work, you could accomplish the same thing by placing
flags in the Application scope. For example, you could write the Session ID
to an Application array, which would be looped over by your admin code.
Just remember to lock all accesses to memory variables with CFLOCK.
