I am only just beginning asp and really need to get my head around this so i can begin persisting and sharing data amoungst single user sessions and multiple users.<br /><br />Thanks in anticipation!<br /><br />Sam x<br /><br /> <br />

In IIS 5: Right click the web in a management console, choose "properties" and click Create.<br /><br />------------<br />sam duncan at 9/14/2000 10:38:47 AM<br /><br /><br />ok, please help.<br /><br />if i create a session variable in page1.asp like this:<br /><br />Session("myName")="Sam"<br /><br />and try to read it from page2.asp like this:<br /><br />Response.Write ("Name is = " &Session("myName"))<br /><br />why is it blank?<br /><br />I have spent all day, playing with arrays, collections etc, if I access the variable from within the same page, ie: page1.asp or the global.asa page its ok, I have also noticed the Sub Session_OnStart is called in the global.asa page every time I log into a page, regardless if I am currently in a session, this doesnt seam right, as i thought the Sub Session_OnStart was only called once per session?<br /><br />Please help!
