I'm sure that two thread groups can't access the same cookie and it would be considered two different sessions, which would not work for me. But thanks for the suggestions. What I need is a "finally" controller as Joe Casadonte mentioned, which hasn't been implemented.

However, I don't think thread groups can access each others cookies or variables. This might cause you problems - cannot be sure from the information you have provided.

I am assuming that after 2 hours, the looping will stop. So, according to your suggestion, Simple Controller for login and logout will repeat and that is not what I want. I can use Once Only Controller for login and the Loop Controller you suggested. However, the logout is the problem. I cannot use Once Only Controller for logout because the user should not logout until 2 hours has ended. thanks.

For the first 2 sets, I realize I can use the Once Only Controller and Random Controller respectively. However, I don't know how to get the last set to run only once at the time I want. The last set of transactions is essentially logout. I would like the user to only login/logout once through the entire simulation. For the other transactions, I would like the users to repeat until the simulation time has ended. The final action should be logout before the simulation ends. Can anyone think of a way to achieve this? Thanks, Mabel --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger
