Hi Jeff, just for information, the problem is caused by a bug (?) of MSIE: that occurs when you have access to your application clicking on a hyperlink (for example if you have a custom local homepage with links to your frequently used applications/sites, or you click on a hyperlink in an outlook mail preview) instead of writing the complete address in IE's addressbar. Under this condition the application works fine, but if you open a popup the main window "forgets" the sessionid and doesn't supply it to the httpserver, so your session becomes invalid.

But I have a customer who has been running a browser session from within Outlook. Some of my pages have javascript links that open a new browser window to view a page. When she accesses one of these popups from within Outlook, the newly popped-up window fails to supply the correct session cookie and a new session is created for that window. Needless to say, this really screws up the application. Is it possible to *force* the encoding of the session ID in the page which contains the link that generates the popup even if cookies are used for the session ID? Right now, I'm using response.encodeURL(), but that does nothing when cookies are used. I would rather not use an encoded session ID for all links, just ones that open new windows.
