restrict access to a page

Hi, im trying to restrict access to a page, i added a connection string, database, recordset, and a login form, all of that works, but once i log in and try to access the page that has the following code:

<%
If Session("userLevel") < 1 Then
Response.Redirect "error.asp"
End If
%>

(i add this code on top of a page to restrict access)
it still sends me to the error page, i think the Session information is not being sent to this page, how can i make this work?
id appreciate some help

Have you tested the session variable to see if it has a value in it?
take the redirect out and try printing it out ::
<%
dim test
test = session("userlevel")
Response.Write("session :: "&test)
%>
If the value IS getting written in the session then your problem may be with that you're asking if the user level is less than 1... less than 1 is 0.

0 is a fickle value, and you may well be writing the value of the session equal to null, not the numerical value of 0.

eg:
session("userlevel") = 0
'where 0 is the value you are getting from your DB

try changing this value in your DB, I would recommend using a scale like 1 for admin, then 2, 4, 8 etc.
