Ken and Philip.....thank you very much. I'll use both of your 
suggestions.

> I agree, and as far as the Guids are concerned, you could use the Guid 
class

to generate a new Globally Unique identifier as well, ie something like

//create new GUID and return as string
public string CreateGUID()
{
	Guid newguid = Guid.NewGuid();
	return newguid.ToString();
}

If you strong name your assembly, store in the Global Assembly cache
and register it with COM using regasm.exe you can use this to generate
guids from ASP Classic too.

Check out the ShoppingCart class in IBuySpy for more ideas.

interoperability


Store the variables in a database, extract some kind of GUID, pass that 
GUID
to your .aspx page which then retrieves the values from the database and
populates your .aspx session variables...

Alternatively, in your .aspx page retrieve the ASPSessionID cookie's 
value.
Use a HTTP GET against a special asp page which returns a list of all the
ASP session variables and their values.

As you've surmised, you can't server.transfer from an ASP page to an 
ASP.Net
page. ASP.Net code is intepreted by a different .dll to ASP pages.

Cheers
Ken

: I want to pass the session-id and other variables from an
