session vars won't carry to other pages

I just checked to make sure cookies are enabled on both firefox and IE, and I'm still having problems. I'm not convinced that cookies are not the problem though. From what I understand, session objects and cookies are two completely different techniques used to store data, but there's no way to disable or enable session objects.

If my session objects work on the same page they're initially set, but NOT on other pages, then would that be a server issue?

 

I uploaded some sample code and that seems to work, so obviously this is a programmer issue. /emoticons/cool.gif Thanks for the help though

 

One of the fallback methods to insure cross page values in classic ASP is to usea query string in the URL when you can.
Whennot a security issue collecting page to page information in the URL was a common business practice prior to ASP.NET.

There's also a little known bug with server names that contain an underscore, i.e. my_server, causing session variables to fail.

 

I'm probably missing something obvious, but my session variables won't carry to other pages within my application. I can set them and call them within the page they're created just fine, but on other pages show nothing. I'm using classic asp. thanks
