Thanks Eric,
Indeed yes they are three separate ".cfm" pages. In the first
form, called logon.cfm, a submit leads to the second page called
"verification.cfm". Once there, a meta refresh tag <meta
http-equiv="refresh" content=".1; URL=nhrepmenu.cfm"> takes you
to the menu
page called "repmenu.cfm".
As for the deletion of existing cookies and locked vars, those are both
recent adds in an attempt to combat this problem. I know cookies over
write
each other, but something is cause people to come up with other peoples
cookie, so I thought if I deleted all cookies before setting them, it
may
clear up some of the issues.. the locking was another attempt to keep
each
cookie unique to the user.

Subject: RE: Cookies and the old switcharoo
Are these three different requests? (i.e. they submit the form, and the
verification page is run, then another HTTP request takes them to the
menu
page?) If not, your problem might be trying to set and access the
cookies on
the same page. Take another look at your app structure and make sure
there's
a request between setting cookies and reading them.
Also, I don't think you're gaining anything by clearing and setting
cookies
on the same page, or by locking form variables.

Subject: Cookies and the old switcharoo
Hey everyone,
I am having a problems where I have created a log in page for
representatives to take a test. The page creates rep cookies that, by
the
time the menu page is reached, have jumbled each client's variables to
someone else's. For example, Steve and John and Sally log in and hit
the
menu page and the menu page displays johns name on Sally's computer,
Sally
might also display "Sally" and and Steve has himself too. But as you
can
tell this makes for terrible inserts and test taking. So I am looking
for
some suggestions... here is the code:
------------ Log on Page ---------------------------
<cfform action="repverification.cfm" method=post>
<h1>Please enter the following information:</h1>
<p> <br>
<table width="75%" border="0">
<tr>
<td width="14%">Name: </td>
<td width="86%">
<cfinput type=text name="RepName" size=20
required="Yes"
message="please enter your name">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="14%">ID:</td>
<td width="86%">
<CFinput type=text name="RepID" maxlength="5"
message="Your ID must
be 5 digits in length" size=20 required="Yes"> <b>(First 5 digits
of
SSN.)</b>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</cfform>
------------ This is the verification page's code: --------------
<cfapplication name="PerfTrack"sessionmanagement="Yes">
<cfcookie name="repname" expires="NOW">
<cfcookie name="repid" expires="NOW">
<cflock name="repvars" timeout="60" throwontimeout="Yes"
type="EXCLUSIVE">
<CFcookie NAME="repname" VALUE="#form.repname#" EXPIRES="2" >
<CFcookie NAME="repid" VALUE="#form.repid#" EXPIRES="2" >
</cflock>
---- and the menu just displays their name, this is a basic example so
as to
pare you a lot of verifying ----
<cfoutput>
Welcome Back #cookie.repname# your ID is #cookie.repid#
#cookie.cftoken#
</cfoutput>
Any help would be VERY appreciated.
