Thanks Shawn. We were hoping to avoid a database hit on every page. I think our best solution is to use ONE application.cfm file, and structures to keep our variable names separate from each other. Somthing like App1.Username, App2., App3.User - the use of the structures will avoid variables with common names.
Such is life....

One way I have heard of it done is to store the common session vars in a database, which all the applications can access.
