Igor Thanks for the link. It was suggested that I must put the session_start() before all code on the parent page. I am no longer getting the error messages,so I am assuming I am making progress, however I have yet to be able to get the $_SESSION or $_COOKIE to produce results...such as the ability to echo them. Thanks for your help.
