Mark,

>>When using FoxISAPI, how does one exercise session management? How is session management done with Wconnect? Is there such a thing as a session object that can maintain collections of state-specific data the way ASP lets you maintain session variables?

Most often cookies, which are sent/requested in the HTML header area. You can have multiple items in a cookie, or you can have just an ID that relates to a table on the backend, where all the real data is kept.

West-Wind wconnect has a session class that makes that part easy, by setting up a dbf to store session info for you.

In addition to cookies, which are the easiest way to go (if your users' browsers support/allow it), you can use hidden form variables and/or id's embedded in the url, then relate them to tables on the back.
