Gilles,
The session variable is stored in an encrypted cookie on the users
machine. When the user exits the browser, the cookie disappears. I've
tried the URL method but that hasn't worked. Gabriele just uploaded the
fix for his cookie code so I will try that out as soon as I can re-compile
and test. Thanks,
