Session Variable Problem

[mtarby]

I know I'm missing something obvious, but I'm back to having a problem with setting a session variable - I'm guessing its the way I'm setting it, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's what I'm trying to set it:

<%
set strSQL = applicant.Execute("SELECT applicant_id  FROM dbo.hr_applicant_info")

dim applicant_id
applicant_id = Request("applicant_id")
Session("applicant_id")= applicant_id
%>

And I'm using this to insert it:

<input type="hidden" name="applicant_id" value="<%=applicant_id%>">

I'm just getting a 0 inserted instead of the number

I know at this point, I've been trying so many combinations that I'm missing something completely obvious, so I'd really appreciate a fresh set of eyes.

Thanks in advance

Hi mtarby,

When you want to call the value again, you have to call it like so:

<input type="hidden" name="applicant_id" value="<%=Session("applicant_id")%>">

Cheers,
