Hi Quinton, The problem the access counter was designed to solve is that when a user hits refresh, an action could be performed twice. >From John McNally: ----------- To use this you keep a session counter and embed the current count in the form. Then check the request count parameter with the session counter to see if it is stale. There is code in the default session validators that does this and a session counter is incremented in $data.User.AccessCounterForSession. This can be used to internally redirect the user to an error screen asking them to refrain from using the back/reload button and does not require a redirect for every action that is requested. ----------- Regards, -- Rodney > We should change the storage of the persistent pull tools to a new > column or simply drop support for persistent pull tools.
