I am trying to set a session variable to pass between pages. It only seems to work if I print the variable to the page before I try to reference the variable. The code setting the variable is:

<%

var varStartDate = new Date();

Session("varStartDate") = varStartDate;

var strStartDate = (Session("varStartDate").getMonth() + 1) + "/" + Session("varStartDate").getDate() + "/" + Session("varStartDate").getFullYear();

Session("strStartDate") = strStartDate;

    %>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = JavaScript>
    window.top.main.location='DisplayMonthlySchedule.a sp';
</SCRIPT>

Using this code, when "DisplayMonthlySchedule.asp" runs, I get an error:

Response object error 'ASP 0185 : 8000ffff'
Missing Default Property

/Scheduling/DisplayMonthlySchedule.asp, line 162

A default property was not found for the object.


If I change the original code to (change in red):

<%

var varStartDate = new Date();

Session("varStartDate") = varStartDate;

var strStartDate = (Session("varStartDate").getMonth() + 1) + "/" + Session("varStartDate").getDate() + "/" + Session("varStartDate").getFullYear();

Session("strStartDate") = strStartDate;

    %>
    varStartDate = <%=Session("varStartDate")%><br>
    strStartDate = <%=Session("strStartDate")%><br>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = JavaScript>
    window.top.main.location='DisplayMonthlySchedule.a sp';
</SCRIPT>


Things work just fine. The problem is that I don't want these dates showing up on the browser. Anyone know what this error means and how to eliminate it?

It appears that:

Session("strStartDate") = strStartDate; this passes fine
Session("varStartDate") = varStartDate; this generates error above


Thanks for your help!
