I am having the very same problem that Andrew describes here (user scope
VARS being shared amongst users by mistake...needless to say, this is a
serious issue). I approached it the same way as Andrew did (using
&<@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT> and also setting the DEFAULTSCOPE in the
witango.ini to user), but to no avail.
Does anyone know the answer to this problem? (Upgrading to 5.5 at the
moment is not an option.)
I have not encountered this problem in the past, but suddenly it has
showed its ugly face and is becoming a real nuisance. Can anyone offer
some advice on this???

Hello,
We set up a few simple Tango apps a few years ago that I believe were Tango
3.6 - Which were not all that long ago ported up to Witango Server for OS X,
currently v5.0.1.065.
One app is a simple FileMaker DB search (If you can call FileMaker a DB?) ;)
However since the upgrade, people have complained about getting results
other than for what they searched... It turns out that if you hit the page
from two different browsers at very close to the same time, they'll both get
the results of one of the searches.
It's basically just a simple form where the user just selects some values
out of the table to bring up the resulting matching records.
We just go:
<FORM METHOD=POST
ACTION="<@CGI><@APPFILE>?function=search&start=1&<@USERREFERENCEARGUMENT>">
And then the TAF just branches on function and does a search on the
@POSTARG's
Actually, it didn't have that @USERREFERENCEARGUMENT at first, I added that
out of desperation... But no luck...
I also thought to check the DEFAULTSCOPE in the witango.ini - which for some
reason was set to request, which I couldn't even find in the help (though my
help seems to not be easily searchable) - So I tried setting it to user and
re-starting the witangod, but it didn't make any difference either.
Any ideas, anyone..? Do you need more info? It's been at least a year or
two since I've had to do any Witango programming, and I never did do
anything particularly complicated, so it might just be something obvious to
others..
Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
