Well, the problem is gone but not exactly sure what caused it. Here is a more detailed explanation of what was happening and how/when it went away. What is supposed to happen 1) When a user calls up an application from within .../dev_helpdesk directory, the application.cfm file checks for session.loggedin, if not defined it queries our Census database using cgi.remote_user, then sets two session variables, one with the primary key from the census database and one with the user's name. 2) I noticed that when I entered the application this morning, that it thought that I was another developer (frank - using IE4.0). Well, I'm working off of a laptop (NT workstation, IE 4.0), that Frank has used in the past. So, we tried clearing the history, cache, deleting cookies from both machines... running this statement. <cfscript>StructClear(session);</CFSCRIPT> ...and nothing seemed to change the fact that our server thought we were the same person. 3) So, finally I rebooted and Frank ran <cfscript>StructClear(session);</CFSCRIPT>. Then when I re-entered the system, I did it through Netscape and the problem went away on both browsers. 4) None of the other 3 developers were experiencing this problem. If anybody has any incite into why this fixed the problem, I would really appreciate. ---Just can't accept that it was "black magic". David J.
