Thanks for the help.
I could use cookies, and it works fine for them, but am not allowed to for
this project. I figured out that I included a cfset when I originally set
up the page that was basically overwriting my variables each time the
index.cfm page loaded.
Everything is working fine now.
Thanks again,

Subject: Re: Question about session variables
While we would need to see the code and page results to really debug this
for you, here is a guess:
1) You may have accidentally hardcoded the CFID and CFTOKEN in the URL or
FORM you are submitting.
2) Alternately, a CFID and CFTOKEN are already present on the CLIENT'S
machine, and are overwriting the expected values you think they should have.
Also, you may need to learn a little more about how CF works: the CFID and
CFTOKEN are ONLY SET ONCE, the first time the user visits the web
site. They remain on the user's browser until you destroy them.
By the way, unless you are storing complex variables (queries, arrays or
structures), client variables work exactly the same as session variables,
and are superior to session variable for 2 reasons: 1) the don't required
locking 2) they work in a CF cluster.
