> Alan, this is a source of frequent confusion. Darned tootin!
I have to say that a lot of the confusion has been caused by Allaire / MM themselves. The definition here http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/5.0/CFML_Reference/T ags57.htm is just downright wrong, and a lot of other sites have just copied it. It would be nice if MM revisited these docs. Back in the bad old days on CF 4, 4.5 and 5 I never quite got the hang of locking and the stress that everything should be locked. And I never quite got it at least partly because I had been misinformed about what cflock actually did. I can understand race conditions, and understand that if all it blocks is other <cflocks> then that dictates where you need locks. I'm grateful to you for a very clear description of what cflock does and doesn't do.
