RE: client variables disappearing
If you're using CF5 or earlier, yes, there is a limit (65k). http://www.macromedia.com/v1/Handlers/index.cfm?ID=22902&Method=Full -Original Message- From: Smith, Matthew P -CONT(DYN) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 4:28 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: client variables disappearing Is there a limit to the total amount of information stored in client variables per user? I am having random client variables become undefined for no reason. It is not consistently the same variable, it's not a loss of state issue as we have cfid/cftoken in the url and I'm allowing cookies to be set in my browser as well.

RE: client variables disappearing
Thanks, Debbie.
I assume the same limit does not apply to session variables so I might just
recode a few areas.

they're stored in server registry when you do that. best practice: store client variables in a database (set this in the cf administrator). ~Simon -Original Message- From: Perez, Bismark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2000 10:03 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Client variables disappearing but wouldn't client variables be saved in the user pc (I selected registry) and CF would retrieve them as needed using the ID and Token?
