The differences is that %udat exists only once per users, while %sdat is copied for every request. The main reason is that when your users clicks on the browser back button, then %sdat will also go back, while %udat will not (same when you say new window in IE). > I don't see any properties on the application object itself that seem > intended for this purpose.

The difference is that the application object will persist between requests (but not between child processes) and the request object will be cleaned up at the end of the request. SO for you using the request object might be the best solution.
