This will keep the sessions intact. -Dan > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Leder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, April 26, 2002 10:21 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: SESSION question > > Can Session variables sometimes be blocked or otherwise corrupted by > passing through a corporate firewall? > > Here's a scenario: I have a login screen where session variables are > created and then "passed" to a welcome screen.
