It is difficult for me (an old german boy), to understand your problem
right. But without cookies and changing session id in the URL, have you
a line like
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_session_id" VALUE="[data session id]">
in your form page? In most common case, without this line, you will lost
the right session id without cookies.
Hope this helps!
