You don't need cfabort with a cflocation because when you use cflocation, the page that is currently executing stops because of the page redirect. You've effectively handed off to another template, so any code below the cflocation will never execute. You would use cfabort when you want to stop the execution of the *currently* executing page dead in its tracks. Tying it to what I said above, since you haven't handed off to another template, you need to explicitly end the page execution if you want to do so at any point above the last line of code in the template. I wouldn't liken the cfabort tag to the "exit sub" function in VB because, while the exit sub will stop executing the Sub routine that it's currently in, the rest of the VB code (the code that called it, etc.) will still keep on running. To me, the "exit sub" function is more similar in functionality to the cfexit tag. Hope this helps?
