I thought you needed Sessions turned on to see cookies? How is is that you manage it yourself?

I do in fact use ADO but would consider using something else. Is there a way to create an object at the session start that can carry information throughout the session? Like if I created some object in VFP or VB that created the properties I wanted to carry as session vars, and updated to a table when I was done?


Thanks for the information...
