I think my main worry was that people would not get the difference. Described as you have here - it makes more sense. Again, I'm being anal. Shoot me. ;) > >As well as onRequestEnd.cfm > > I use OnRequestEnd so rarely, I was unaware that the > variables scope was > not available to it. Like Application.cfm, it has it's own local scope, so, if you want to share stuff, the request scope is good for this. > Bob hits the site, request.foo is equal to 5. > Mary hits the site and request.foo is equal to 22. > Bob outputs request.foo and the value 5 is output (correct?) > Mary outputs request.foo and the value is 22 (correct?) > Bob's request ends > Mary's request ends. > > Bob's value will not change when Mary hits the site.

Mainly I want to make sure everyone else has a proper understanding as well. (Although knowing me, I made it worse. ;) Ok, back to Neo for me. ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda ______________________________________________________________________ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
