Thanks to all for the advice. I've used session and client scope varibles often. I haven't had to use application scope variables and I didn't really understand when it was appropriate or better yet the inappropriate to use either. Now I see how important it is to select the proper scope. I would have been headed for trouble if I used session or client variables.
