>>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.

Thanks, Bob. I don't explicitly call get_item either, I use the same methodology that you do. In the watch window, it shows the get_item reference so it must be an internal function that using your method actually calls.

This is really strange to me because this is my third ADP.NET application and I have used essentially the same code in the other two without any difficulty.
