>>If you site is going to be busy, I would stay away from session variable, if I could. They slow things down a lot. You could use the hidden, once you have validated they are who they say with a login. That means you have to have the hidden checked for on every page and passed to every page. Using a cookie has its problems too. Users delete them--If someone else has access to that computer they can get in also. If you check www.truegeeks.com under the open source document. Go in as guest look at vbscript examples for how to do a cookie.
