Matt, Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.
However, (unfortunately) I can't implement this solution for 2 reasons: 1. It is forbidden for us to set any cookies on the users machines. 2. The URL that the user is being forwarded to is out of my control. (The server was a server set up by our Network Engineers.) Any ideas? Thanks Again for your time!
