Sounds like you need to use a different scope. Look into the Application
and Server scopes. You will need to use CFLOCK with either of those.
Another option would be to store the value in a database. I would suggest
that that's both the simplest (can avoid locking issues) and most scalable
solution.

Subject: Setting Global Variables
Hi,
Am doing an Intranet App and I have a variable named branch that is set as
follows:
<cfset branch =
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Denny\WebServer\CurrentVersion\Multihome\Hostna
me">
On the same page, I have a form which can update the variable, using a text
box, but I need to set it "Globally" and I'm not sure how. The form is
submitted to the same page, and uses a hidden "action" variable which is
determined using a <cfcase> tag and <cfswitch>:
<cfform action="index.cfm" method="post"><p>The current branch is:<br><br>
<input name="branch" type="text" size="100"
value=<cfoutput>#branch#</cfoutput>>.<br><br>
Click here to change:
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="changebranch">
<input type="Submit" value="Change">
</cfform>
(and then on submit...):
<cfcase value="changebranch">
<p> Change Branch code goes here.
<cfset branch = #form.branch#>
</cfcase>
It's setting the update "branch" value, but only for that section of the
page. How can I set it so that it updates #branch# wherever mentioned?
Sorry if I've not made myself clear, and thanks in advance.
Will
