<cfset event.copyToScope( variables, "currentUser, currentCart, 
userSession")>
<cfset me = variables.currentUser>
<cfset cart = variables.currentCart>

<cfdump var="#userSession#"> shows the cart isn't in the session

<cfdump var="#currentCart#" label="currentCart"> which comes from the 
session as well, returns the object.

I will give the direct calls a try. I had thought about always having the 
cart exist but hadn't worked towards it yet. 

Thanks also for reminding me about pastebin.
