PWS and Session variables

[bigfoot]

I can not seem to get session variables to work on PWS. Any reason why?

I save on page 1, then page 2 they are blank.

show your code.. www.vzio.com
ASP WEB DEVELOPMENT

There is no code.
<%
Session(&quot;WebConn&quot = &quot;DSN=WEBServ&quot;
%>
on page 1

I add a link to page 2 and click on it....

<%
response.write Session(&quot;WebConn&quot
%>
on page 2

and it comes up blank.

i recall something about session variables with PWS not working across folders -- i.e., session variables only work within the same folder... is your &quot;page2&quot; in a subfolder, or are you referencing &quot;page2&quot; aboslutely, i.e, with a leading slash, or fully qualified URL? try searching Microsoft website, they may have more info.

good luck!

Just for kicks try:


<%
Response.Write(Session(&quot;WebConn&quot)
%>
www.vzio.com
ASP WEB DEVELOPMENT

Hi Funka, they are both in the same folder.

And snowboardr, I know it's blank because when I go to use it, it crashes the asp page.

Any other test environment I can use besides PWS?

what OS are you running.

IIS is a good alternative and much better.

out of curiousity, do you have cookies enabled? if you program often then I know thats a stupid question but it would not work if you didn't .

also you can try
<%
Session(&quot;WebConn&quot = &quot;DSN=WEBServ&quot;
Response.Write Session(WebConn&quot
'make sure you are even setting the variable
%>
