No offense taken!

I will definitely keep this in mind. I guess this is where the trade-offs
start coming in to play as to whether one keeps a dataset in a view state,
session state, or simply requery the database. So far I have only kept small
items in the session state (like a numeric key - int64). That seems not to
be too imposing but perhaps there is a good bit more overhead in just doing
that than I suspect. Is there any method of predicting the size of the
memory that is consumed by session state info?

I have seen it and started to 'play' with it ... do you get the feeling that
I am just a slow learner????

Many thanks again!
