Been there. You'll benefit from all my pains here: In a nutshell, Crystal uses simple cookies instead of fancy cookies. Every report parameter is stored as a cookie. Real stupid setup if you ask me.
There's a browser limitation on how many cookies a single site is allowed to set. There's some good reasons for this. What you really should do is run reports from a separate domain, and keep the cookies separate. Alternatively, you'll need a method to recover the cfid and cftoken from time to time when crystal decides to eat up resources. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: Tim Do [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 10:32 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: session variables vs client variables We're having a problem with sessions being dropped while viewing crystal reports. Crystal sets a cookie for each parameter passed to a report and drops whatever existing cookies there are... so users are being logged out after viewing crystal reports. I'm thinking about changing all session variables to client variables and storing them in the database. I haven't used client variables before and wanted to make sure first. Would I just set it up in cfmx admin and replace all variables scope from session to client? Is the timeout mgmt only done thru cfmx admin? Also... just need to change how I delete sessions with DeleteClientVariable? Anything else?
