Hi,
I've noticed that one of my users was causing errors in my application because
he opens several windows to work in different areas of the system in the same
time. This causes conflicts in the session scope, since all of his windows are
having the same cookie, therefore the same session.
You can prevent session-based race conditions by using CFLOCK around
any code that reads or writes session variables,
It is not an issue of session race and I don't see how CFLOCK could help.
Imagine you have a big system designed to manage big events like annual

It is supposed to be handled automatically by CF with appropriate HTTP headers.
Hi,
When I dbl-click on a CF template in Windows Explorer, it automatically opens
the template in CF Studio.
Now, suppose I have a list of local files in an HTML page, is it possible to
create the same action in an HTML link like:
A href=open the file in CF Studio#fullPath#/A
if you want to open those in cfstudio, you can right click Open With...
and choose cfstudio.
No, this is when you are in Windows Explorer.
What I need is open the file in CF Studio from Internet Explorer in a page

But I'd like to see if I can modify it.
I suppose all the information about scheduled tasks is stocked in some XML
file, but where?
Try neo-cron.xml (should be in the \lib folder under your ColdFusion
installation).
Thanks, I found it.
But my assumption was wrong. The date is not contained in this file, it is
simple the date-time at the moment I open the scheduler.
How could this date be wrong?
I would suggest you just delete the task from neo-cron.xml and start again
and see if the issue persists
Finaly, the trouble seems not to be with the sceduled tasked.
The date-time which is declared invalid is actualy rhe time I open the
