Note Submitter: Chris Brown ---- Here's another session tip for you, relevant to IE6: If you find that your session is unexpectedly lost when your application opens a page in a pop-up window, try closing down any other copies of IE running on your machine. The problem is that IE doesn't always use the same IE process to host a new pop-up window - it chooses one (using some mysterious strategy) from the pool of running IE processes! Since session information (cookies) is not preserved across processes, the pop-up may loose the session (and probably redirect the user to your log-in page.) I don't know a work-around for this, except for close all other IE windows. Microsoft state that they do not guarantee that sessions will be preserved across multiple windows: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/196383
