Well thanks for looking David,
I too was concerned that it might be a logic problem, The difficulty
is that it never happened with sessions and I essentially did a site
wide
replace of "session." for "cookie." and I never had the problem before
I
used cookies. I have picked through the code three times myself and
had
co-workers look it over as well. I appreciate the suggestions and I
will
try looking into these further, though I had the cache removed manually
as
well as the cookies in the same few steps. I also verified the
browsers
were the same as mine and the only difference seems to be that they are
on a
"thin client", but I can't rule out the possibility of code error
either.
If you or anyone have any other thoughts, I am open to suggestions.
Thanks
for everything.

There are only three ways I can imagine it happening:
1. The wrong cookie values are being sent. I'm not sure how this would
occur,
but you should be able to see the entire cookie data in
CGI.HTTP_COOKIE.
2. There is a caching problem - the cookies are set correct, but the
page
you
see is completely disconnected from what you should be seeing. Try
adding a
random number on the url to test this.
3. There is a logic error in your page. I don't actually have time to
look
at
your code sorry, but its always a possibility.
