There is a simple solution, make sure your the one generating the IDs, and upon each "proper" session start (where no session id is passed in) set a session "I started this session" variable. If a session ID has been passed in, then check for that variable, if it exists - continue, if not then show an error message. Note: you will experiance the same problem if the session times out. -- Dan Hardiker [dhardiker@staff.firstcreative.net] ADAM Software & Systems Engineer First Creative Ltd
