Here's how I do this using session variables (sorry this is way late,
I'm behind in catching up on my reading):
In my application.cfm I have this:
<cfif Not Session.UserLoggedIn>
<cfset Session.Goto = #CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#>
<cfif CGI.QUERY_STRING NEQ "">
<cfset Session.Goto = #CGI.SCRIPT_NAME# & "?" &
'#CGI.QUERY_STRING#'>
</cfif>
</cfif>
After the user completes the login form and is sent to the action page
to authenticate their login info, I have something like this if they
successfully were able to login:
<CFOUTPUT>
<P>Your login was successful.<BR> You are logged in as:
<B>#GetUser.FName# #GetUser.LName#</B>. You have logged in #VisitCount#
times.</p>
<P>
<cfif Session.Goto IS NOT "">
<A HREF="#Session.Goto#">
<cfelse>
<A HREF="somedirectory/someurl.cfm">
</cfif>Continue</A></p>
</CFOUTPUT>
