how do you feel about storing data in the session variable. as i think for storing the data in it will be great as if they are navigating among pages and come back to a page they were on before, then i would just check to see if the data is in the session variables. This would drastically lessen on the load on the database and the pre-processing needed for each page.
but i see what you mean it depends on the amount of data that will be getting stored in the session variable. if it is down to judgement, there are certain wizards where the users will go through around 10 steps for each course they are undertaking. at the end of these wizards the session variables holding the data can be flushed. So i see what you mean it is all dependant on what you are doing thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:254112 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
