That warning is no longer true in CFMX, any version. Since you don't specify which version of CF you're using, I don't know if that applies to you. However, I have seen two popular suggestions come to the list to do this: 1. Direct to one page where you set the cookie and then do a Javascipt location.href to the next page. 2. Set the cookie, and then use the cfheader tag to re-direct, i.e. <cfcookie name="firstName" value="Dave" expires="NEVER"> <cfheader name="Location" value="urlpath/to/file.cfm"> <cfheader statuscode="302" statustext="Document moved"> Either one of those approaches should get it done for you.
