Yes, it's very possible if you have to instances of your browser's process
running or you're using two different browsers.

Ray,
I mean using the same browser. I need a sessionId to track my shopping
cart while the other track my redeem cert. Isnt possible??

No, there can only be one session ID per browser process instance. And even
if you decided to launch a new browser through a _blank link or something,
there is no guarantee that every machine will always create a new instance
of that browser process.

Hi,

SessionID from ASP is -not- unique. It is only ASP -per server- unique!
If you restart IIS or recycle the ASP process, you'll even have a new chance
for the same occurance of the sessionid.
I'd base my dependancy on a GUID not on the sessionID...
Success

Such chances are never zero.

Would that chance be more than once in a thousand years?

The GUID is not unique too, only the earth is not old enough.

oh gosh.
Are you serious? Just kidding. This is a non-issue. In fact, I create a GUID
using the cryptography services. But being afraid it would clash is a
*non*issue in compare with using SessionID...
