This is, in fact, what my system attempts to do. The catch is that I CAN'T change the realm with a new session...because I don't GET a new session, because IE 5.5 is not starting a new session when it should! Indeed, when I change the realm, I get the prompt. But I can't tell when the user closed his browser and started a new one, because IE 5.5 (on the machines I'm testing on) is still keeping the old session, acting like the browser never closed. Again, my system works perfectly on the other browsers I've tried. It changes the realm when appropriate. It sets a flag in the database when the user hits logout. And it works the way it should. Just in IE 5.5 (on the machines I'm testing on) do I get this horrible behavior. - Ken >Later, Chris.
