I remember having problems setting persistent cookies unless all the parameters were in there, and no problems at all setting session cookies with only the username and password -- so that's what I always do now ... persistent = use all parameters correctly session = use only name and value parameters -- Kenneth Grome WebDNA Programmer Outsource Service Provider ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
