I read about this and have tried setting the variable to a different value, erasing it, and erasing all. Nothing is working.

I am getting an error message on this page (object expected line 16)

I appreciate any help,
Keith

Code: 
<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/URL]

[b]<%
        Sub ResetMeetingID()
          
                      
                    
                    Session.Contents.Remove "sMeetingID"
                  
     
        
        End Sub

The subroutine is in the server-side code.

The attempt to call the subroutine is in a client-side event.


Remember, by the time the browser gets the page the server is done with its work.

Thanks, that make sense. I was using an example that I found on W3C schools site:
Code: 
Example 1

<%
Session("test1")=("First test")
Session("test2")=("Second test")
Session("test3")=("Third test")Session.Contents.Remove("test2")for each x in Session.Contents
 Response.Write(x & "=" & Session.Contents(x) & "<br />")
next
%>

If you could point me in the right direction on how to do this I would appreciate it.

Thanks Again

Not sure what happened but the code didn't display right. The line in bold is what I am trying to duplicate. Esentially I want to put a link that clears the session, than takes them to the page where they can enter it again.

Code: 
<%
Session("test1")=("First test")
Session("test2")=("Second test")
Session("test3")=("Third test")

[b]Session.Contents.Remove("test2")for each x in [/b]

Session.Contents
 Response.Write(x & "=" & Session.Contents(x) & "<br />")
next
%>

if the session variable contains a value you can get rid of it like this:
[tt]Session("test3")= ""[/tt]

if you want to get rid of an object reference you could do:
[tt]Set Session("test3") = Nothing[/tt]

to nuke the entire session:
[tt]Session.Abandon[/tt]

You are running 2 lines into one.
Code: 
Session.Contents.Remove("test2")for each x in

Session.Contents
 Response.Write(x & "=" & Session.Contents(x) & "<br />")
next
should be
Code: 
Session("test2")=Nothing
For each x in Session.Contents
 Response.Write(x & "=" & Session.Contents(x) & "<br />")
next
