He means you have to explicitly put the variable/query in the application scope: <cfset application.someVar = someValue /> Just placing a regular variable assignment inside onApplicationStart() does not place anything in application scope: <!--- this goes in variables scope, even inside onApplicationStart() ---> <cfset someVar = someValue /> (Not sure why anyone would think it would behave differently?)
