Just to give some background on what's happening, because something similar happened to us.
At some point your CFID & CFTOKEN where changed from simple integers (CF4.5/5) to UUID's (CF5/MX). But the way your code is set up, anybody who already had the old style CFID and CFTOKENs assigned to them, would keep them and continue to work, but new people (or somebody who cleaned out all his cookies so that they looked like a new person) got the new style that is killing your code. The trouble is the opposite is also happening. During your testing people who got the new style by resetting their cookies are still having problems, they will keep having then until their cookies are again deleted. But it likes like changing all your IsDefined references to StruckKeyExists methods will help this. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource Sacramento, CA -----Original Message----- From: Richard Crawford [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2003 10:10 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: The Ongoing Saga of the Dead Session Variable At 12:59 PM 7/31/2003 -0400, you wrote: >It hasn't been running on CFMX for years, though, right?

Per Isaac's suggestion and per yours, I both turned off the option to use UUID for cftoken and replaced the isdefined with structkey. This worked at this line, but I received a fresh error message: * Error message: The string "session.spanish1202d2ad76445536e6d-AFD6A182-F39D-EBCE-9A2A2E3A0ED188C5" is not a valid ColdFusion variable name. Valid variable names must start with a letter, and can only contain letter, numbers, and underscores. The offending code is this: <cfset "session.spanish1#cfid##cftoken#" = 1> I tried turning "use UUID for cftoken" back on but got the same error message. I'm guessing that this is probably a client-side problem rather than a CF problem, but I am still at a loss... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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.
