>I populate some session state variables with user information during login process. It shows up just fine in my default.aspx page. However, as soon as I click on a link in the default page, session state variables go away. The next page cannot see them. In the watch window I get a message that says 'session.get_item returned null. I also have the sessionID displayed in the watch window and it doesn't change so the actual session is still there.

I don't use get item... I do this on the page load on our Default Page, after the login page, to show the user name of who is logged in:

// Put user code to initialize the page here
this.lblLoginName.Text = Session["fname"]+" "+Session["lname"];
this.lblLoginTime.Text = Session["logintime"].ToString();
