Re: Witango-Talk: a random question

I can agree with that statement. I've found this to be the case the hard way. I have a control panel script that has a bunch of forms on it that consist of submit buttons that toggle a control on or off (0 or 1) and based on that setting I will update vars of different scopes. Some of these buttons are dependant upon their a variable in some scope being set. What I have done is built a set of what I call require which are small tafs that check to see if the variables in a specific scope are still valid. This is usually like the 1 or second action in all my tafs. I call it using a branch and return from branch function. this is really just and an if else decision tree checking the variables in some prescribed hierarchy I usually start at the top with Server, application, and Domain scope and then move down through the User and Local vars. If any of these vars are proven to be invalid I reload the variable in question from the db with a dbms call to the table where that variable is stored. and then continue through the tree.  This is tricky with locals as most of the time locals are generated consumed and destroyed too fast to make a difference or are not generated by some db setting so in that case too bad, soo sad.  But what this provides is a first line of defense to the "unpredictable" results that Robert alluded to by forcing the taf to decide if all the vars are still valid before getting to the page. csmith           ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert S.
