Just an aside, when comparing strings, you should use IS NOT instead of NEQ. That's a performance tip that I picked up at the MAX Conference in New Orleans. Basically, when comparing numbers use EQ and NEQ and when comparing strings use IS and IS NOT. Apparently, the performance gain is pretty substantial for larger apps. I just thought I'd pass that along as I'm always looking for ways to increase the performance of my applications.

At the top of my application.cfm ,I've got the line <cfset set_session = cgi.http_user_agent neq "CFSCHEDULE"> works perfectly. I had no idea you could set the session management on the fly. I figured as soon as you turned off session management, it would turn off all active sessions. thanks again. On 5/2/05, S.
