I'm trying to create a Login page using DW8's MM_loginaction which, on success, redirects to a page where the user can update their user details.

Until recently it's been working without problem using session variables to carry the user's ID onto subsequent pages. However, I've been experiencing what appears to be server problems whereby I'm getting intermittent disappearing and reappearing session cookies (not associated with browser controls).

Therefore I'm trying to find an alternative to session. I've tried using the following which doesn't work:

MM_redirectLoginSuccess = "update_profile1.asp?fldUserName=" & (request.form("fldUserName")

If someone can help me with the disappearing/reappearing session cookies I'd be over the moon but as I live in the real world (at least some of the time) I'd be happy with help with an alternative to session cookies.

Any suggestions?
