So far I seem to be getting great responses, but none seem to
address the actual problem. I want the user to be sent to the page
that he
originally requested after logging in. It should not matter what page
he
tried to get to. He should go to that page, not a page that is
programmed
statically into the login page.
I do not want the user to ALWAYS go to addphot.cfm for example, but
he might go to deletephotos.cfm or updatepreferences.cfm. This should
all
depend upon the page he tried to get to, not a preset page.
The user may just be getting in for the first time that day and
trying to skip past the login, or the user may have sent a link to the
page,
to a client, but I don't want the client to get there w/o first logging
in.
I hope this makes sense. I am checking out the script from macromedia,
just
having a hard time getting in.
Thanks
Chris

Yes, this is a common application. I describe how to do this in
Instant
ColdFusion (my 1st book), but the basics are:
Create a log-in page. When the user logs in, set a session variable,
something along the lines of 'IsLoggedIn' or if you are dealing with
group
level access, I like to us a list of the groups the user belongs to.
In the application.cfm in the subdirectory (Make sure your
cfapplication
tags have the same name) check the access like this:
<cfif session.isloggedin is false>
<cflocation back to login page> ( <-- not exact code )
</cfif>
