hiya ppl,
im having a very weird problem trying to access my session variables....
i have the following two lines in my global file since im trying to return
the results of a recordset into an excel sheet
Response.Buffer = TRUE
Response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"
however, if i try the following anywhere in the code,
if Session ("loggedin") <> "yes" then
response.redirect ("default.asp")
the check simply fails, i dunno why.
if i comment out the response.contenttype line of code, it works
perfectly. however with that line, the session variable value just dosent
exist.
how can i get around this ?? any help will be appreciated ..
thanx

Have you put the code that does the login check at the very top of your
page, before the part that sends recordset to Excel?

yup, as i mentioned, i tried it out by placing the code manually in *all*
possible places.
however, as of now, ive found something that looks like a solution to this
problem. Seems that office 2000 does have a bug :) that resets (empties)
all session variables when mime types are streamed using IE.
more on this can be found at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q264143
im currently downloading a service release :( which as usual is taking too
long......
hopefully, this will be the solution to the problem.
thanx for your help.
