Maybe I am just stupid and there is a better way to accomplish this, but here is what I am trying to do.

I create a textfile on the server that I use to capture customer info, etc. everytime a user "logs in" to my site. I save this filename as a session var for easy access all over the web. When the user "logs out" I request the filename from the session and delete it. I tried adding the same code to my session_onEnd in the global.asa, but I guess that the server is already terminating the session before executing the sub routine because it does not delete the file. If this is the case, is there a way I can request the session vars before it terminates?

Could anyone please point me in the right direction? I'm running out of fingernails to bite.

Thank you so much!!!

Are you using IISv4 or v5? If you are using v5, and you running the web site in low, medium or high isolation? If it's medium or high isolation, then the dllhost.exe process is running under the IWAM_Username account, and you need to give that account sufficient NTFS privileges to delete the files on the server...

If you are unsure, you can use the FileMon utility from www.sysinternals.com to see if there are any access denied errors occuring, and on what files they are occuring on.

Also make sure you are not using Server.MapPath to locate the file. This is one of a few commands you can not use in Session_OnEnd. You also can not use the Response object. If you try to use any of these then an error is raised, and usually the subroutine simply ends unless you have an error trap in there.
