A short adition to this. When you do use session variables keep in mind that they do expire after a set period of time ( default = 20 minutes ) . If pages aren't refreshed / submitted within this time period the session data wil be lost.
So this might not be an ideal form of data persistence for a survey / test sort of internet app. The best way to deal with this is probably by using hidden form fields / querystring variables. To pass along this data. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles M.
