client vars are the way to go. Just remember that you may now have problems
with people who have disabled cookies on their browsers...

Ya know...you gotta go spoil my good morning! <grin>
Yeah, I was afraid some people wouldn't like my cooking and refuse to eat my
Chocolate chip cookies, and, I'm in the process of baking some better ones
so that even if they do refuse again, I can still maintain my sense of good
humor and allow them to eat something else.
<grin>
Actually, in reality,
I found this bit of code from Andy:
What do you think? However, there is an IIF in there, and I know how we all
hate IIF.
<!---Ensure session is maintained regarless of cookies being on or off --->
<cfif NOT ISDEFINED("Client.rollCount")>
<cfset Client.rollCount = 1>
<!--- Try to set a cookie for testing later --->
<cfcookie name="isOn" value="testing">
<!--- This sets addtoken --->
<cfset application.addtoken =
"cfid=#client.cfid#&cftoken=#client.cftoken#">
<cfelse>
<!--- If cookies are not on then make a query string --->
<cfset application.addtoken = iif(not isdefined("cookie.isOn"),
DE("cfid=#client.cfid#&cftoken=#client.cftoken#"), DE(""))>
</cfif>
<!---If user closes browser end session --->
<cfif IsDefined("Cookie.CFID") AND IsDefined("Cookie.CFTOKEN")>
<cfset cfid_local = Cookie.CFID>
<cfset cftoken_local = Cookie.CFTOKEN>
<cfcookie name="CFID" value="#cfid_local#">
<cfcookie name="CFTOKEN" value="#cftoken_local#">
</cfif>
You then need to append "&#application.addtoken#" to the end of every
hyperlink, form posting, and cflocation in your web site. Also for
cflocation you need to set the attribute "Addtoken = No".
This will then append the CFID and CFTOKEN to the end of the url or an empty
string, depnding on whether the user has cookies turned on or not.
The second bit of code simply ensures that the session is killed when the
user closes the browser so doesn't rely on the session/client timeout
specified in the application.cfm or by the CFServer

In your case, client vars are the way to go. Just remember that you may now
have problems with people who have disabled cookies on their browsers...
