Yes, I guess. I'm kinda of new to all of this session stuff. Say I have a directory for my login routine, "Directory A" This where I query the database and gather the session vars. If successful on login, I then show the user a navigation icon screen that has href links to the separate apps. I store the separate "applications" in directories B, C, D and E just to separate the logic and pages, with each directory serving a different purpose. What I would like to do is "carry" the session from the login directory "A" over to any of the apps the user happens to click on. I would rather not pass params on the URL or FORM if have to. If I'm reading you right, I may just need ONE application.cfm in the root of my directory structure?
