The first time loaded at all? The first time loaded for that user's session? The first time loaded for that user ever? Depending on your definition of "the first time" you can choose the correct variable scope to set to prevent the code from running again. First time loaded at all: Set an application scope variable First time for that user's: Set a session scope variable First time for that user ever?: Set a cookie that never expires. The concept is the same. If the index.cfm doesn't find that variable, it runs the code, otherwise it skips it. HTH!
