Well, it works and then it doesn't work. FoxWeb continue assigning new Session Id's for each new page loaded, and then all of a sudden the Session Id "sticks" and works properly. This is all in one browser session -- so I open a browser, hit the pages, and then after a while the Session Id stops resetting itself and works properly.
I'd love to send you a link, but everything is running via localhost right now as I'm in development mode. When I get my server loaded with FoxWeb I can send a link, but that may be a few weeks.

FoxWeb keeps track of Session IDs using cookies. If it does not detect a cookie called FW_SessionID, then it generates a new Session ID and returns it to the browser in the form of a cookie. The particular cookie tag that FoxWeb uses to return Session IDs instructs browsers to remember the cookie until they are restarted.
If the Session ID changes for the same browser, then either the browser was restarted between the two requests, or it is configured to not support cookies.
If the above information does not help you solve the problem, please send us a link to the offending page. In your email please also specify the version of FoxWeb you are using.

I'm getting a new SessionID number within a single browser session sporadically.
I've built a "Login" webpage. The SessionId is noted at each call of the login process to see how many invalid logins are attempted in one session. If too many invalid attempts are made then an error page is shown.
Each invalid attempt is stored in a .DBF. If more than 5 attempts are made within the same SessionID then an error page is shown.
But each login attempt is *sometimes* given a new SessionID number. Sometimes it works and the session id is consistent as it should be, and other times a new session ID is generated by FoxWeb in the same browser session for each login attempt.
Here is a sample from me hitting the "Login" button repeatedly in the same browser session:
DateTime SessionID
