Type mismatch: 'Session' - works on my PC not on Server

[pmrankine]

I've started to write a small intranet. Got it working on my PC. The IT section needs a login, so I look up the database for the login details, then save the username to a session variable for use elsewhere. I now want to move the intranet to a server but have come up against this error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'Session'

/Intranet/systems.asp, line 50

Line 50:

Set Session("UserID") = objRecordSet("user_name")

My original error was "Object required" - so I added "Set" to the start of the line.

The only difference I can see is that I'm running IIS5 and the server is IIS6.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks PHV. Posted there and then thought I should do a search! Surprise, surprise I found the answer:
Thread333-747622
which points to an MS article: "Using Session Objects with Session State Disabled Returns Type Mismatch Error" - I wasn't aware of this on my own PC but when I changed it on the server it seems to work
