Hi Nadya,

After looking even further I got a clue in the Effective Techniques for application development book by Jim Booth and Steve Sawyer. On chapter 9 page 154 Jim mentioned the cSessionEnvironment of the codebook which he also modified slightly and it is part of the source code of the book. Also it is possible to download the original class from the codebook web site as well. Jim removed any references to the codebook and it can be dropped on any project. Check this web site to get all info for the codebook if needed.

>Hi Doron,

>Ok, I hope you don't think, I made the whole story up? :) Perhaps Ed just forgot about the message he posted couple of months (or may be year) before. It was a casual reply from him to somebody's problem and he scetched a class idea in this message. I don't remember the person, who asked the question, except for the fact, if was not the one of UT regulars...

>Anyway, since neither you, nor I or Ed can find the thread or remember details, I guess, you should just follow Ed's advice.

>Sorry about it.
