Hello,
I had a very similar thing happen to me (I just started learning CF about 3 weeks ago
so take this with some salt):
I set debugging on for my IP address. After running the application a couple of times
I found that my SQL queries were working with the wrong info ( I also had another
person access
the application at the same time as I was). I had a member id being generated when a
new member wanted to register to the site. The query that obtained the new id did not
use the
unique sessionid of the current user, therefore if two users were at the same page at
the same time there was the possibility of them getting the member id's mixed up. I
fixed the
queries and I have not had a problem since.
Maybe not the same situation but just in case, but I hope it helps.
cheers,
Nelson.
