I just put it right in the root fbx_Settings.cfm file so it get's processed every time and that way I can use Session variables. Is that wrong? Should I not have done that? No one told me that was wrong. (George from Seinfeld) =-)

Your concern is justified. The Application.cfm up the directory structure will be included and can cause problems. That's why it is recommended to ALWAYS have an Application.cfm (read my previous post below). Because in FB, you tend to use <CFPARAM> to set parameters, some vars could get you in trouble. Example: On your c drive you copied an Application.cfm containing the code <cfset request.dsn = nonexistingdsn> In your root fbx_settings.cfm you set the dsn for your application with <cfparam name="request.dsn" default="mydsn"> Result: All your queries fail because they keep looking for the data source nonexistingdsn !!

Keep in mind that you can't stop CF from including the nearest Application.cfm automatically. To avoid problems you should ALWAYS have an Application.cfm in the applicationroot. If you don't want to use it, just have one CR/LF in the file (because CF can't handle empty templates).
