This is a known issue in CF as way back as I can remember......the solution as stated is to use a Javascript location to do the job of the cflocation. for pre-MX installed.

CODE IS: <cfoutput>Start Cookie</cfoutput> <cfcookie name="customerid" value="#pwdcheck.customerid#" expires="NEVER" domain=".westminster.gov.uk"> <cfoutput><br>End Cookie</cfoutput> <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> <cflocation url="http://www1.westminster.gov.uk/preprod-test-index.cfm";> _______________________________________________________ * Regards, Richard Lovelock, Senior Application Analyst.
