Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / February 2008

I have a form in CF8 where a user selects a client, fills out a form, and then
uses CFThread to process the submitted data, while the user can go on to the
next client and fill out another form, etc.

I am trying to do something like this in CF4.5 where I incorporate the
customer ID into the form name so that it can work similarly to the CF8
version, the user will just have to open multiple windows of the same session
so they don't have to wait for all the calculations to take place (<3 cfthread
<3).

Does anyone have any ideas about how this will work?  Better suggestions?  I
just want to make sure client A's data isn't mixed up with client B's.  The
previous developer used CFLock and session variables.  I don't think this is
the solution though because the user would have to wait for the server to be
done will all the data before (s)he moves on, that and we used to have people
doing what I'm trying to implement now (opening multiple windows and
submitting) except that the situation would be funky because of session
variables being set hither and thither.

Thanks for the help!
