Steve, In my experience, if they both have separate <cfapplication> tags with separately named applications, you are actually dealing with 2 different scopes - however if you are doing a cfinclude of the first application.cf m file in the second (sub) application.cfm file, and there is only one <cfapplication> tag, they are sharing the same application scope. If you include an application.cfm file in the inner (sub) directory that does N OT have a cfapplication tag in it, you are NOT still in the prior applicatio n scope - instead you are without an application scope altogether (because there is no <cfappplication> running). At least that is how I understand it. Someone else could perhaps shed a bit more light.
mark -----Original Message----- From: Steven Durette [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2002 5:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: CFAPPLICATION question. Can answer this for me? Will users in a sub-application keep the outer application from timing out? Here is an example: I have a CF application that user log into an then have the option to log into a sub application. The sub application is actually in a subdirectory off of the main application. The outer application has a timeout of 10 minutes. The inner application also has a timeout of 10 minutes. While the users are clicking away in the sub-app are the clicks stopping the outer app from timing out or will the have to log back in after 10 minutes are up and they finally decide to click the link back to the main application?
