2 reasons:

1/      if the user has multiple windows open
2/      If the user hits stop before a page finishes executing and executes
another page..

Locking when reading prevents a variable being written when it is being read
and visa versa

Subject: CFLOCK and Session variables


A couple of questions that I can't 
seem to sort out from reading the DOCS...

1. Why would one need to use cflock when WRITING session.variables ?

My impression is that:

Session.var is NOT shared, 
Client.var is NOT shared,
Application.var IS shared

2. Why would one need to use cflock when READING any shared variables?

thanks y'all,
