Many thanks. Apart from a couple of false starts everything is now OK. First
time I tried your code I simply copied and pasted it and ended up with an
unknown function error. Although you correctly call it session_start() to begin
with, in the actual sample code you called it start_session(). Second time I
tried it I got a couple of warnings that headers had already been sent and that
the session could not be started. That was because I hadn't called the function
at the ABSOLUTE beginning of the page. I had

<?php
include("connect.php");
session_start();
?>

But when I changed it to

<?php
session_start();
include("connect.php");
?>

Everything was honky dory. I guess a little bit always needs to be left to the
programmer to sort out eh? :-)

Many thanks to all those that helped with this posting
