Raymond,
Could you please explain, how i can set a safe environment
to log
a user into the application and log the user out..
I tried the structClear(Session) and it messed things up..
how else can i use structClear(Session) safely, were you referring
to some like
StructClear(MyApp) , where "MyApp" being the" Application name in
Application.cfm"
or is there a better way? i need to pass the Userid and password
through a form
and initialize variables from query in the application.cfm.
Whats the best way of doing this?
Appretiate your help!!
Thanks
Joe
