My suggestion is to have the form submit to itself. I do all my forms that way and it makes it much easier to pass the form data back to itself in case of errors.
Then, in the application.cfm, I do the login checks. I would also suggest copying these files to backup, then rebuilding each step one piece at a time. Most likely, it's a simple problem, but you are too close to it to see. If you are interested, I can dig up one of my form-based login methods and mail it to you.

Login.cfm doesn't have any cflocation tags in it, and I've now removed all of them from the application.cfm file - but I'm still getting that URL redirection exceeded problem. Here's the whole file again, as altered: <cfsetting showdebugoutput="no"> <cfapplication name="02133" sessionmanagement="Yes" setclientcookies="Yes" applicationtimeout="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,3,0)#"> <cfparam Name="Application.DSN" Default="MassInc2"> <!--// set this equal to your IP address if yyou want to enter live debugging mode //---> <cfparam name="Request.Debug" default=""> <cfparam Name="Application.SearchCollectionName" Default="02133"> <!--- check if user has logged out ---> <cfif IsDefined("Form.logout")> <cflogout> </cfif> <!--- check if user is logged in ---> <cfset currentlocation = GetFileFromPath(getBaseTemplatePath())> <cfif currentlocation neq "login.cfm"> <cfif GetAuthUser() eq ""> <cfinclude template="login.cfm"> <cfabort> </cfif> </cfif> Login.cfm is just a simple form, which on submission goes to a login2.cfm page with the cflogin code. But I'm getting stopped before I can start to load login.cfm. My knowledge gets more than fuzzy when you start getting into sessions and cookies and such - is there a problem with the code I've got at the top of my application.cfm file? There's a parent directory above the one where I'm locating this application, and that also has an application.cfm file - but it's just session activation, no cflocation tags or any other funny business. Would that be causing any problems? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:200255 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
