I can't guarantee the locking is the problem in this case, but it is definitely something I would look at. I'm sure someone else that reads this list can give other possibilities, but it's not unlikely that the lack of locking is creating at least some problems.

What quantity of code is in question here? Having had to clean up legacy code on more than one occassion, I know it's not fun, but if the code is of fairly limited scope, it would be worth putting the locks in on general principle. However, if there's a _lot_ of code, maybe someone else will have a less painful and time consuming solution.

  Thanks for the reply Cassidy.

  To answer your questions:
  1) Yes, they are on the same firewall.
  2) No, none of the reads and some of the writes are locked.

  Could the session lock be the problem?  This is the first time in about a year since the app went up that they problem manifested.

    Off the top of my head...

    1) Are the two client machines behind the same proxy/firewall? I've heard of some odd things happening when two client machines appear the same to the outside world.

    2) Are all of your session reads and writes locked?

      I have an app that currently uses session vars, and apprears as if it "moves" from one client machine to another.  Specifically, a variable called SESSION.user_id being used on one client session, would be seen on a different client machine.

      Any suggestions on what could causes this anomaly? And how to resolve it?

      The config is as follows:
      CF5 on Win2k server, IIS
      sessionmanagement ="on"
      clientmanagement="off"
      Template Cache size is 1024kb

      Thanks, gang.
