Session

Hey gang me again. Have a quick ? for ya.

Is there a way to update a session? What I mean is this. Let's say I have a
site, that uses sessions for login purposes, and lets members gain access
based on the session.
I have a profile update page, where they can change password, name, email,
stuff like that. But if a member changes his username, I would like to be
able to change the session("username") as well. Without changing it, they
can't access any other member pages, unless they logout, then login again
using the new name. Is there a way around this??
Thanks
Jeff
