You are correct, I didn't address that issue; I must have missed it in your original post. The way I do this is to pass a 'locationID' or 'return' variable through the cflocation. After the user correctly logs in, use a cfswitch to point the user back to the page he originally came from. If you are feeling might adventurous, or if there are too many pages that a user could hit for you to document, you can even pass the template name as a url variable and eliminate the cfswitch entirely after the complete login. A cgi variable can give you the template name: cgi.Script_Name, for instance. -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: Reboog711 | ICQ: 5246969 | Fax / Phone: 860-223-7946 -- Need a Web Developer?
