Hi,

To enable session variables on your pages you need to define the following at the top of each page:

 Help with Code Tags 
 coldfusion Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<cfapplication name="Your application Name" 
sessionmanagement="Yes"
sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,45,0)#>
<cfapplication name="Your application Name" 
sessionmanagement="Yes"
sessiontimeout=#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,45,0)#>

You should then be able to access your session variables that you define.
