Session Variables - Application File

Sure, if it's only one page you can check for CGI.SCRIPT_NAME and if
it's the page you don't want to have execute a portion of your
Application.cfm file, put that in a conditional based on the
CGI.SCRIPT_NAME *not* being the page in question.

The other option is to put the page that you don't want to have execute
the Application.cfm page in a separate directory and in that directory
create another Application.cfm page. CF will use the Application.cfm
page it finds first as it traverses up your directory tree. Not sure if
that's an option because you may want the one page to which you're
referring to execute the rest of the Application.cfm file, so I'm just
pointing this out as another possibility.

<cfif CGI.SCRIPT_NAME NEQ "page_that_should_ignore_stuff.cfm">
<!--- do stuff here for every other page --->
</cfif>

You'll have to tweak this to match your situation but that would be the
gist of what you'd have to do.

Hope that helps,
