Some notes: no, you don't generally use cflock or cfcookie with client variables. Adding these to your code are unlikely to solve the problem.
If you are using client variables to track whether a user is logged in, you may wish to reconsider. I would not recommend doing this. I wouldn't store client variables in a cookie, unless there is a good reason why the site isn't storing them in a database. The first thing you might check is whether the URL switches from www.site.com to site.com, or some similar switch in the URL, which is the most common reason a cookie value can be lost. Another common reason is using cflocation on a page that sets a cookie value, which was more of a problem in older versions of CF. -Mike Chabot http://www.linkedin.com/in/chabot On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 9:55 PM, Randy Zeitman <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have a user with cookie problems (who happens to be a big shot!... please > help me keep this client!) > > ... when they login, I set the client variables, and sometimes the cookie > that tracks those client vars doesn't get set and the website thinks they're > not logged in.
