Variables

[fortage]

I have an include file with an variable(CompanyTest) set to true if needed. In the asp page(vbscript) there is a session variable with the name of the company of the user logged on. I'm trying to do something like this
if session("Company&quot & "Test" = true then
do something
end if

session("Company&quot & "Test" together is the name of the variable I set to true in the include file. I appears as thought the if statement is just testing if the string is true as opposed to the value of the varialble. How can I get this to work. Now I receive the error
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'
Type mismatch: '[string: "CompanyOneTest"]'

You should be able to edit it to address your needs I guess...

<%
session(&quot;CompanyTest&quot;) = TRUE
strStmnt = &quot;If session(&quot;&quot;company&quot; & &quot;test&quot;&quot;) = TRUE Then response.write &quot;&quot;yip&quot;&quot;&quot; 
response.write strStmnt & &quot;<br>&quot;
EXECUTE strStmnt
%>

This is not a bug - it's an undocumented feature...

Please note that strStmnt = .... ""yip""" all goes on one line... This is not a bug - it's an undocumented feature...

Actually the variable set in the include file is not a session variable. How could it be accomplished this way??

I'm fairly new to ASP, so forgive me in advance if this is not the best way to doit, but I just had something similar yesterday that I solved by using eval() to get the value:

e.g:

if eval(session("Company&quot & "Test&quot = true then
do something
end if

I thought about it but dismissed the idea of using EVAL(). Nice catch!

Thanks
