Re: ASP Sessions not Dying

Phil and Group-

         Thanks for the help. I finally figured out what was going on. One 
of my subselects in a stored procedure ended up with a static session 
number, instead of the one that was being fed to the stored procedure. Some 
info comes from that subselect, some from another. The new items were 
coming out of the second one, and the old items just happened to all be in 
the first one. So actually I was getting an old cart, mixed with the new cart.
         I figured it out when I went to a machine that had never been to 
the site, and I had all the older items in the shopping cart there.

Thanks for your help-
Stephen
