I also think it's "cleaner" to just let the user log back in and then process their POST data. You may need to not use the built-in session time-out, so that you have the data in context. Or, you may need to re-structure your application to archive timed-out session data somewhere, and resurrect it when needed. You can clean out really old archival data periodically. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
