This is a known "feature". You cannot set a cookie and then cflocation in the same template. You need to use an alternate method of sending the user on to where you want them. --K -----Original Message----- From: Paul Johnston [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 13, 2000 9:42 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Wierd CFLOCATION error An email is sent out with a url on it. THe url sets a cookie and then redirects the user with a cflocation tag. For some reason, the cflocation tag is run before the cfcookie tag is complete thus not allowing the cookie to be set. Any ideas?
