    Default Session Variable Counter

    Borrowing off of the Shopping Cart program in Ben Forta's book.... I am using
    session variables to in effect create a list of entities that will print to
    mailing labels. playing with spacing and such I finally have the first column
    of lables printing. There are ten labels for each of 3 columns.

    When session basket count reaches 11 records I want to start printing in the
    next column.

    I was considering using the "Session.Basket" as a counter, so that when the
    record count reaches 11 and then 21 I want to alternate where in the program I
    will direct the output.

    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to reference that session basket .
    When I look at the "Scope Variables", Session Variables dump I see that the
    basket is incrementing each time data is written to it.... I see "basket=Query
    (2), then 3 , 4 etc.... indicating that there is data being written to the
    variable.

    Thanks
