Reference parent window when new page is loaded

Hi,
I use the window.opener object to reference the parent-window from a popup-window. The reference is used to retrieve and set the URL for the parent-window. However when a new page is loaded in in the parent-window after the popup-window is opened, the window.opener-reference becomes invalid.
I've tried to get around this by storing the reference, when the popup-window loads, in a variable without success.
We use IE5.5 on Win2000.
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem is apreciated.
Thanks in advance !
