Hi Shari,

The first thing to check is to make sure you are using Session() and not
Cache() or Application() by mistake. That is the most common reason this
happens. Session variables might be being used everywhere except for one
key line of code. Also if you encapsulate these objects, check out that
code to make sure there isn't a mistype somewhere. The next thing you
should do after checking that is find a way to consistently make the problem
happen. Have a couple developers or QA people figure out a way to make it
happen. Once you can do that then you can find the code where it occurs.
Good luck! Ken.
