Hi All,

What might be the reason that the code that has "SESSION" object works in one place but not in the other place?

I have two Session object variables for "User Name" and "Password" in the "Login Page". But, when I call another page, these Session variables don't carry over the values that were assigned in the "Login Page".

I checked the IIS of the other location and the cookies are allowed.

Thanks for your help.

A typo in the object name is about the only thing that comes to mind - EG "User Name" and "UserName" are very different. In short sessions are either working or they are not - how do you know they are working?

Are you using IIS 6.0, if so they have to be enabled.

IIS 6.0.

here's my problem
i use this code for logout:
<%Session.Abandon
if session("accountype") = "" then
response.Redirect "logout.asp?logoutsucceed=true"
else
response.redirect "logout.asp?logoutsucceed=false"
end if
%>
the problem is,my session("accountype") still contain with any data, even it has pass session.abandon, it should take twice logout to clean up my session. is there any sugestion might be help thx cheers

;;;my session("accountype") still contain with any data

What do you mean by this? there is still a value in the session variable after passing thru the session.abandon line?

Having:
Session.Abandon
At the head of your page will mean your if condition will always be true, there is no need for the else

Not completely understanding you

yes theres still a value in session variable after passing thru session.abandon
how i know?coz its still redirect to "logout.asp?logoutsucceed=false" and while we took logout for the seconde time then the page would redirect to "logout.asp?logoutsucceed=true"
i don't know why it could be

Interesting replace
if session("accountype") = "" then
with
if trim(session("accountype")) = "" then

If that doesnt doesnt fix it, comment out your redirects and add some response.write's before and after the session.abandon to compare values

I just checked my .chm files on sessions

FYI:When the Abandon method is called, the current Session object is queued for deletion, but is not actually deleted until all of the script commands on the current page have been processed. This means that you can access variables stored in the Session object on the same page as the call to Abandon, but not in any subsequent Web pages.

Additionaly, here is one of my terminateSession.asp pages:
<%
Session.Abandon()
response.redirect("../index.asp?session=terminated")
%>
<script>
 window.close();
</script>
