It may be. Since you timed it out maybe it gets emptied first? I'm not sure on that one. It went empty string then gone right?
You may want to rest it all then see if the same weirdness happens. J.

But that empty string is what's striking me as odd. Maybe it was just a weird fluke.

They are just longer lasting. Once you set an APPLICATION scope variable it exists until you change it, reset the application or time out the application. They live as long as the application essentially. So you could set it then change the page to display it before the line that sets and it's still got a value. J.

The dump displays all the APPLICATION values in the score. Only problem is, I don't set any of these values until after the dump. It's almost as if the APPLICATION scope is a SESSION. Being that it remembers the values from a previous execution. So, I set my application timeout at 1 minute. I erased the line <cfset APPLICATION.value = 1>. After the timeout, the variable was still included in the dump, this time as a [empty string] instead of 1. A minute or two later and the value finally disappears and doesn't show in the dump. Is this normal? Why is it being reset to an empty string?
