I think. Please > test all thoroughly :) Justin, I took your suggestion and tried out the above on some test files. I made some slight mods, but, it works perfectly. The only thing I don't like about this solution is that the session ID is appended to the end of the URL for everyone, even if they have cookies enabled. (I have trans-sid enabled). Is there any reliable way to avoid this, or is this just a small side-effect of making the site accessible to all? Thanks! Monty
