Is your session variable getting updated? If not, there is your problem, if so, then the problem lies in some part of the program that is not using the session variables value, or not using it correctly. If the app works using just cookies, then switching to session variables shouldn't be a problem in and of itself.
I'm not sure how secure your app needs to be, but storing paths like that on the client in a cookie sounds very insecure. If I altered the cookie with the list of paths to include c:\, could I get a listing of that directory? Sounds like to me this variable should definitely be a session or client scoped variable. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Wednesday, October 9, 2002, 7:40:05 AM, you wrote: F> HI, F> I'm getting a little confused with <cfcookies and <cfset SESSION.varaible ="">.
