What Dave said about client scope and db rows. For my own cart I wound up using client variables. I felt they were more survivable than session vars. Restart CF and lose your session vars... bad news on a shared server where the host might have an uneven record of uptime. A cvar-based solution will typically survive a cf restart (user visits page, cf gets restarted while user reads content, next page hit is after restart and cvar cart contents persist).
I haven't kept up with CF8's features but I believe they are in a struct now and much easier to work with as a result. My thinking behind not using a db table was that I would need to clean it up somehow, and the fact that the client variable db was automatically cleaned out over time (imperfect assumption on my part) did that job for me. -- -...@robertson-- Janitor, The Robertson Team mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:317426 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
