The quotes did the magic that they were expected to do... I got my answer. I had posted the same question a couple of times before but never got a good answer. I just did. Thanks.

I've haven't had to use this variable yet, but here is an example of how you would. <@assign scope=User Name=variableTimeoutTrigger value="http://www.mysite.com/logout.taf?userid=<@var User$UserID>"> After assigning this variable, when the user session that this variable was assigned in expires, the logout.taf url will be hit, allowing you to put code in logout.taf that will clean up after a user who lets their session expire instead of explicitly logging out of the system. Pay special attention to the Explanation of how metatags are/are not evaluated when the trigger occurs. /John Two 2 Witango wrote: > I have read that before.
