Try changing the name of your App. It's most likely caching the application variables as set up in the initial load of your app.cfm file. I've had that happen to me before and changing the app name did it for me.

In my Application.cfm, I declare a variable and in a page, I use it. But it's not showing up. The page at first displayed the information, but it's not doing so now. I have a cfapplication tag in the Application file and it had a sessiontimeout, and when I removed the timeout, I stopped getting the var. Putting it back in didn't seem to help. BTW, I am putting this in the request scope and I was told to do that years ago, but I never knew why and just do it cause I was told. What is the request scope? Here's my code. Application.cfm <cfapplication sessionmanagement="yes" setclientcookies="yes" name="career_expo" clientmanagement="Yes" sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,1,0,0)#"> <cfif NOT structKeyExists(session,'user')> <cfset session.user = duplicate(variables.foo)> </cfif> <cfset request.the_year = '2006'> <cfset request.the_date = 'May 4'> ------------------------ Page Code: <span class="heading2">#request.the_date#, 2006<br> 10 am - 1 pm<br></span> I'm just trying to put the information that I have displayed in several places into one place to make it easy to change. thanks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:243527 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
