Thanks, I tried to run it on my local maching which i've tried WIMP and
WAMP...both are looking for the variables to be defined and the sessions
don't work. I didn't write this application obviously and am cleaning up
someone else's mess. So - do you know if this session and variable problem
will carry over to Linux? Is this something that is possible configured at
the server level?
