On your login page you'd set the session variable. If the login is successful..... <cfset session.views = "#queryName.Division#"> Then you'd use the following on the page that displays the documents <CFQUERY name="docs" datasource="intranetv8"> SELECT docid, doctitle, docsummary, docpath, docView_type FROM itdocs WHERE category2='#URL.category2#' AND views='#session.views#' OR views = 'all' </CFQUERY> Any of the "big dogs" please correct me if I'm wrong ;) Candace K.

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/3/2002 10:00:03 AM >>> I am still using Coldfusion 4.5, so CFMX is not a practical solution in the short term. So from what has been suggested. Yes I have a field called views in the documents (itdocs) table. When they add the document through a html form there is a select box field with 3 options the user has to select <option value=teama>Available to Team A</option> <option value=teamb>Available to Team B</option> <option value=all>Available to Everybody</option> The value they select populates the views field in the documents (itdocs) table. When you state you can set up a session variable. Where would this value come from? In the user table holding their profile information there is a field called division. This contains either Teama or Teamb for each user. So could this be used? And is the above the most efficient way of creating as Ben Forta calls it Explicit Personalization ?? or are there better more elegant approaches of achieving the above? Because the same (i.e. who is able to view the content) would have to be done for when a user adds a record to the download table or a news article. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
