In the example I specified, a datasource variable. First you have to put it into an application variable, so code similar to this goes into the Application.cfm : <cflock> <cfif isDefined("Application.dsn")> <cfset application.dsn = "mydatasource"> </cfif> </cflock> Now you have to lock all your query statements every time you reference the variable: <cflock> <cfquery datasource="#application.dsn#"> </cfquery> </cflock> In this case, you have added additional locking code, which takes additional processing time, with no real added benefit for storing the datasource information in an application variable. -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Need a Web Developer?
