Shannon, Do a search for all "application.cfm" and "application.cfc" files... you probably have one with the same name as your prod application. If you have 2 applications named the same they will both be able to alter the same application scope.

Randomly, on production, we're getting a hard error because the application variable for our datasource is referring to the name of the QA dsn (which isn't defined on production) instead of the production dsn. It happened to me today...a hard error was buried in the nav area, and when I looked at the line number it referenced, it had the exact same variable name at the error line as it had in all the queries above it. It was as though it randomly changed what the variable resolved to after many successful queries above it (the rest of the page rendered just fine). When I clicked away and clicked back, the hard error was mysteriously gone. We've searched the entire production codebase for a reference to the QA DSN; nada. QA isn't even hosted on the same server. Any ideas where to look from here?
