>Than absent Session vars what's the best way to carry variables from one form to another (without using parameters)...

Session are fine if you really need them. But if you don't you're wasting
valuable resources on the server. Sessions also don't scale to multiple
machines, so there are other issues.

In general I don't use sessions at all. Rather I use a single Cookie
which *I* manage rather than ASP and then store my session info
in a database. If you use ADO there's more overhead there, but if you
use a VFP COM object the overhead is actually less than a session.
