Losing session variables when using frames

[schick]

First, the user logs in. These values are stored as session variables. Then my second page is shown. I've got four frames on this page, each frame collects data and moves to the next. When the user has completed the forms they click a link that runs a report (Crystal Seagate), which shows up in a new window. This window seems to be my problem, if I close this new window, I lose my User Login variables. I'd like to be able to close this report and enter new data and run another report. My goal is for the users to login in once and perform multiple searches.

Any help is appreciated.

think of a session as an object that is bound to a window, if you close the window you lose the session
