However, locking shared-scope data access is still required to ensure the integrity of data that might change. For more information see http://livedocs.macromedia.com/cfmxdocs/Developing_ColdFusion_MX_Applications_with_CFML/sharedVars.jsp.<br><br>You are correct that the ColdFusion MX Administrator does not have a Locking section. The portion of this page that documents the Locking section is obsolete. hlichtin 0 0 2003-01-09T09:19:00 http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/6/CFML_Reference/Tags-pt167.htm#835 It is my understanding that scope locking is no longer needed in CF MX. Also there is no locking section under "Server Settings" in the CF admin. bcortese 0 0 2003-01-07T15:30:00
