Rats Dave, I had a nice emailing explaining how this could only happen on the same request that the cfid/cftoken where set on... and you pre-empted me <ha>. I'll have to learn to type faster. -mk

You see, there is no state > management on the web. There is no correlation between page > requests. The server can't tell one request from the other. While there is no state management built into the HTTP protocol, it's incorrect to state that you can't set Client variables in a database and use CFLOCATION in the same page in most cases, even if you're using CFID and CFTOKEN cookies to associate the browser with the Client scope. Typically, when you set Client variables in a database, the CFID and CFTOKEN cookies have already been accepted. So, even if you use CFLOCATION, the browser will still subsequently send the two cookies to the page to which you've redirected (assuming that you've redirected to a page within the same site). The only time when this may not occur is on the initial page request - if you use CFLOCATION there, the browser may not receive the cookies created by the CFAPPLICATION tag.
