If you are locking the Session scope outside the component, there's no reason you'd need to lock the Session scope within the component. > I hope not, since the function does not seem to like cflocks in it You should have no problem using CFLOCK within a CFFUNCTION tag. You would probably want to rewrite it something like this, I think: <cffunction ...> <cfargument ...> <cfset var ...> <cflock ...> ... </cflock> <cfreturn ...> </cffunction> However, in this specific case, I would recommend that you perform your locking in the calling page. > <CFARGUMENT NAME="lastActionUser" TYPE="STRING" > REQUIRED="YES" DEFAULT="#SESSION.userName#"> In general, I'd recommend that you avoid explicitly referring to the Session scope (or any other external scope) within your components and functions. If the argument is required, there's no need to specify a default value.
