Assume, for the moment, that the user logs in with some kind of username/password. You can then manage to tie them to their partially-completed work in the DB WITHOUT using sessions at all, if you really want to. You'd be better off using PHP Sessions, of course, since you'd end up duplicating a bunch of the functionality anyway, but you *COULD*. Either way, I was intending to mean to not store the *answers* as $_SESSION data rather than to not use sessions at all. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
