Open new window with different session

[earme]

Hello,

I'm wondering if this is possible, but it'd be a great help to me if it is.

Is it possible to open a new window and make it be a different session than the window that opened it?

The reason I want to do this: in the new window I want to display a Crystal Report, which kills the session to completely clean up after itself when the page is unloaded. However, I don't want the user to lose all the session info in the other window (or they'll have to log in again and hopefully they're not in the middle of updating something at the same time).

TIA,
Earme

I haven't been able to find anything that would suggest the ablity to open a new window with a new session. So, I'm stuck with my work around.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

We had the same situation and redirected the user to a new website passing the parameters etc for the report in a query string.

When the user closed the report you can close the session variables without affecting your original application.

We also discovered if you do not close the session variables after the user has viewed a crystal report in 8.5 the licences are held for 20 mins!
