session values

I'm having a problem with sessions. Basically, my site has a place where a
user logs in, and they're taken to a page with the order details and items
from their shopping cart. This order detail page checks a session variable to
check that the customer is logged in. The problem is that some users are
taken back to the login page even though they are entering the correct
username and password. We know that their cookies are on. We have a script on
another page that checks for cookies, and we've scanned through the logs and
it shows that their cookies are on. What is more baffling is that many users
are going through ok, but some are not, and there aren't any patterns as to
their browser type, or isp origin or whatnot. Anyone have a similar issue?

Are you using Forms Authentication? If not, you may find that arrangement
more reliable. You can easily set up custom Forms Auth against a database.
