@Russ. I am not sure I understand what you are saying. if my index.cfm is as follows:
<cfset StructClear(session)> <form name="frm" method="post" action="results.cfm"> <select name="dd_year"> <option value="2000">2000</option> <option value="2001">2001</option> <option value="2002">2002</option> <option value="2003">2003</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="sbtbutton" /> </form> The second page is as follows: *results.cfm* <cfset structappend(session,form)> <cfdump var="#session#"> <a href="onemorepage.cfm">Go to next page</a> *onemorepage.cfm* <cfdump var="#session#"> <a href="index.cfm">Go to search page</a> I have application.cfm too which has the following line: <CFAPPLICATION NAME="myapp" setclientcookies="Yes" clientmanagement="Yes" sessionmanagement="Yes" sessiontimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(1,0,0,0)#" applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(1,0,0,0)#"> so now the user is on 'onemorepage.cfm' and from here he opens a new window using 'ctrl + N'. On new window he clicks on 'Go to search page' link, and then select a dfferent tax year. Now, I want the old window to show the old tax year for all pages, and new window to show new tax year for all pages. I tested using both session/client. The problem is If I select a different tax year on new window, and then refresh the old window, the old window shows the new value I hope I am clear.
