>From what I have observed, this appears to be what is happening.

Cookies applied by CF are not written by the browser until it is closed. (In
the case of IE, if you have several instances open at the same time, they
aren't written until all are closed).

You may want to try using session or application variables for this purpose.
Cookies probably aren't the best tool to use for a data thumper application.

Just my opinion though.

Subject: cookies revisted...



I am using an AbleCommerce store which my client is trying to use as an
order entry system. In other words, the order takers are taking phone and
mail in orders. They are actually inputting the orders into the Web store.
The problem is that, since they are inputting the orders from their own
local PC the cookie is getting created on their PC and not changing between
orders. So, the same USER_ID is being used for each order and differnt
customer information is being recorded in the same customer record in the
DB.

I have tried to delete the cookie between each order so CF doesn't see the
cookie on the next order and will create a new unique USER_ID. But I can't
seem to get the cookie off the hard disk. I am not even sure if the cookie
is being deleted from the browser environment either.

I am using:

<cfcookie name="USER_ID" expires="NOW" domain=".thedomain">

I have turned on CF debugging to see variables and the HTTP_COOKIE always
has the same info in it.

Does anyone know the trick to this? I have even written a little program to
actually delete the cookie file off the PC. But, what happens is that, the
cookie info is still in the browser session and is picked up by AbleCommerce
and used again on the next order.

Thanks to anyone with any solution,

John "eating cookies for breakfast" Cesta
