So if you remove the cflocation and just move from page to page by a href link it all works?
I know there's an issue with setting cookies and using cflocation in the same page, but not sessions, maybe you are redirecting before the session is set?

The really strange thing is that I found if I remove the <cflocation> after I set the variables, then they take. Why is this? Surely the <cflocation> shouldn't actually take effect until it reaches that part of the code, should it? Cheers, Seona. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
