Session variables apply to all of the instances of the browser windows that
you have open. If you have 1 ie window open or 10 ie windows open they all
get the same information.
I am curious as to why you would have two people logged on at the same time
from the same machine. If you provide the scenario that would require this
we may be able to help you come up with a different solution.
Good luck.
