My main web page validates a user username and password. I have about 10 different pages a user can go to and only 2 additional ones require the userid value. It is my understanding that the userid can only be passed between ASP pages via REQUEST.FORM("varname").

The problem becomes what if the user checks out a report that does not require or pass the userid? Is this a scenario where I should be using a session variable or something else? A brief code example would be a wonderful thing now...
