Dear Caveman,

Thanks for that - a couple of follow-ups:

1. Yes, my installation doesn't remember usernames between session (neither on my machine, or other users).  This is true whether you logoff, or just close your browser.  Is there anything I could do to chase down why this is?

2. ZAP sounds good.  I don't know what it is though.  Any example of it working would be very gratefully received.

Thanks again,

Rick.
