Not sure why you switched to session variables *in order* to use CFLOCK... Session variables (pre-CFMX) do need to be locked when read or written, but it's more that you use CFLOCK because you use session vars, not use session vars so you can CFLOCK... Client variables don't need locking. Why you you need CFLOCK? The only other reason I can think of (apart from covering session/application vars from CF memory leaks), is to prevent different users/processes writing to the same var at the same time... But user-specific vars (session/client) by definition shouldn't suffer from this. Maybe you've not swotted up on what the differences between the different variables scopes is in CF... What version of CF are you using? Check out the CF documentation, or try: http://www.halhelms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=tutorials.detail (the 'State Management' tutorials).
