If you need to test it, wrap the cfouput of the var in a try and catch the error of use the isDefined() function. Also just output some non cf html or text in the head.cfm file to text if it is actually being called or not. Again you are using a local var so i dont see where the application scope is coming into play here. Is the "product_name" var being set within a condition? Maybe the condition is not being met and the var isnt being set. Also, might be just me, but setting vars in templates like that and expecting it is going to be in your other templates is a very bad idea. Steve

I don't think Application scope is at play here as in theory if 4 people are on the box and 3 of them are constantly clearing the Application scope, the only way for it to affect all 4 is if they all share the same scopename? My memory is rusty but doesn't cfinclude distill down into the one class (or is that cfmodule)? could that be the faultline?

Except for a change in scope I'm not sure how this could happen. Blair On 7/3/08, David Heacock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've got the strangest problem...
