Bonnie,

Thanks for the article reference. It's perplexing. I've tried several techniques, read several articles, all to no avail. There are several forum messages at different sites where this same problem has been experienced, but no real solutions are offered.

I want to make sure I have a scalable application, too (it's a customer requirement). What a week! I've run into one roadblock after another and don't have one good line of code to show for it <g>.

Thanks for your help!

Regards,
Carl.

I wanted to be sure that we could have a scalable application, so I was looking into managing the session state on SQL Server as you've mentioned (but since then, we haven't done much with the WebForm part of our app because we've been focusing on WinForms).
