You are correct, REQUEST is a single-page persisting object. In only lasts for the duration of the page request and then is destroyed. SESSION and APPLICATION are cross-page persisting scopes. You might want to try setting it into SESSION.

Im trying to do <cfif isdefined("request.user")> to see if it has been set in the onrequeststart but it is never defined. As I write this I am guessing the request variable needs to be set each time in there to. First Page Load --- event.user is set Second Page --- check if event.user is set, but I guess it may not carry page to page? Not sure if I am being clear enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:257214 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
