Hi,
>My first question is, is this a good idea (using a GUID as a session Id)
We use GUID's as session Id's for our website, and currently have had no
problems using these as Session IDs. (the website goes through approx 4400
sessions per day)

As for GUID creation we use the WinAPI function CoCreateGUID to create the
GUID's at runtime. We then store these on our SQLServer database for
retrieval at a later time.
Hope that helps.
