Thanks for the info I think that it will really help out with what I'm woking on. However, I don't think that I made myself clear... I don't ne ed to access any variables, I'm just worried that I'm going to get complaint s if the users have to keep logging in. I'm just wondering if the fact tha t they are clicking pages will keep the outer application from timing out.
The particular applications that I am working on have seperate CFAPPLICAT ION tags in their own application.cfm's. Since they are already in one CFapp , is the second CFApp nested within the first? If they are nested, does th at mean that clicks (forms filled in, hyperlinks taken, etc.) will keep the outer application from timing out? Thanks again, PS the answers given already just helped me solve a different problem I w as working on. Steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark A.
