If you only need it on one page, I'd use the local variable scope called
"variables" (you can omit the prefix).

Just out of curiosity .. If you just need to set a variable for one page and
that variable only ever lives on that one page, which would be the better
scope, Variables, or Request, or does it matter?

| Right! Your application.cfm should have the following for each
| Request-scoped variable:
|
| <CFSET Request.MyVar1 = "foo">
| <CFSET Request.MyVar2 = "bar">
| etc
|
| That way your Request-scoped variables will contain a value and will be
| available to each page.
|
| If the value of your variable changes from page to page, then you really
| shouldn't put it in Request scope.
|
| best, paul
