Before you go any farther, there's been a lot of negative comments on this list about GoDaddy as a CF host, so you might want to take that into consideration. > I am by no means a ColdFusion person so I am really out of my element here. > For the most part the transfer went smooth.

CF has two different mechanisms for doing this. You might either use "old-fashioned" CF sessions, which rely on two tokens for session management, CFID and CFTOKEN. Or, if you're using CF 6+, you could use "J2EE" sessions, which rely on a single token for session management, JSESSIONID. It appears neither of these are being set. Sessions can be disabled on the server in the CF Administrator, but I would think that if this were done your Application.cfm should generate a different error. You could try explicitly setting cookies, although this shouldn't be necessary: <cfapplication ... setclientcookies="yes"> Also, while we're looking at the CFAPPLICATION tag, you don't want sessions to last for two hours, which is what you have with your SESSIONTIMEOUT attribute. I suspect that's being overridden by the default setting in CF Application anyway, which is 20 minutes. > <cfquery datasource="mysqlcf_emmrod" name="getcolors">SELECT > products_colors FROM products WHERE products_id = #form.products_id#</cfquery> You really, REALLY, need to use CFQUERYPARAM anywhere you use values from the browser in SQL statements. This is critically important to preventing SQL injection attacks. I strongly suggest you fix this before going live.
