you could put in a database an action field, and have a function check the action on every page. If the action says certain things, like KILL or REVALIDATE, then have it perform certain actions. For the first, I'd output an error page that says something like "Your session was killed by administrator (Admin ID)." Or, ask them for their password before carrying out their request for the latter example. there are several ways to do this. It all depends on what your server's capabilities and resources are (databases and such) and personal preference. HTH, -- The Disguised Jedi disguised.jedi@xxxxxxxxx Now you have my $0.02.
