Hi Mark, Yes, that is understood and is precisely what I'm doing.
The issue is that any user of "botApplication" who hits any template containing a reference to a session variable (*even if protected within isdefined() checks*) will receive an error. At least that is the behavior with CFMX 6.1. Regards, Terry >Terry, > >Session management is set at the "application" level.
