Creating InfoStore returns "Object Required" error in ASP

[chris777]

I am new to CE programing (and programing in general) and I am getting an error I can't work through. I can create the session object as well as logon, but when I try to create the InfoStore it get an "Object Required" error. I am running the page as ASP and I have checked the code against an ASP code example and it seems ok. I have pasted my code below, and the error comes at the line:
Set IStore = Sess.Service ("", "InfoStore&quot


dim APS
dim username
dim password
dim auth
dim SessionManager
dim IStore
dim LogonTokenMgr
dim Sess

APS = Request.Form ("APSName&quot
username = Request.Form ("username&quot
password = Request.Form ("password&quot
auth = Request.Form ("authentication&quot
Response.Write (APS & ", " & username & ", " & password & ", " & auth)

Set SessionManager = Server.CreateObject ("CrystalEnterprise.SessionMgr&quot
if err.number <> 0 then
Response.Write (err.Description)
Response.End
end if

Set Sess = SessionManager.Logon(username, password, APS, Auth)
if err.number <> 0 then
Response.Write (err.Description)
Response.End
else
' Response.Write &quot;<br>Session manager successfull&quot;
'Create the InfoStore object.
Set IStore = Sess.Service (&quot;&quot;, &quot;InfoStore&quot
'Store the InfoStore object in the session.
Session(&quot;IStore&quot = IStore
end if

Set SessionManager = nothing

Hi, Try combining the call and the Session assignment:

SetSession("IStore", Sess.Service ("", "InfoStore"));

The complete code I use for Logon is ( borrowed from Crystal examples):

function LogonUser(username, password, apsname, authentication) {
	var sm;
	var es;
	var ltm;
	//INSTANTIATE INFOSTORE OBJECT FOR SESSION
    try {
		sm = Server.CreateObject("CrystalEnterprise.SessionMgr");
    	es = sm.Logon(username, password, apsname, authentication);
	} catch (e) {
		//LOGON ERROR
		SetCookies_LogonInfo(usr, aps, aut);
		SetSession("ErrMessage", e.description);
		Response.Redirect("logonform.csp?action=logonerror");
		Response.End();
    }
	SetSession("IStore", es.Service ("", "InfoStore"));
	SetSession("userID", username);
	SetSession("aps", es.APSName + es.ClusterName);
	try {
		ltm = es.LogonTokenMgr;
	} catch (e) {
		WriteErrorGeneral(e.description);
	}
	//WRITE THE LOGONTOKEN TO A COOKIE AND THE VIEW TOKEN TO A COOKIE
	try {
		SetCookie("logontoken", ltm.CreateLogonTokenEx("", 480, -1));
	} catch (e) {
		WriteErrorGeneral(e.description);
	}

	//CHECK IF PASSWORD HAS EXPIRED
	if (authentication == "secEnterprise") {	
		if(es.UserInfo.PasswordExpiry == 0) {
			SetCookies_LogonInfo(username, password, authentication);
			SetSession("ErrMessage", L_PASSWORDEXPIRED);
			Response.Redirect("newpwdform.csp");
			Response.End();
		}
	}

Hope it is useful..

Sorry, I am having a hard time converting the JavaScript to ASP. I can't seem to get your suggestion to work.

Using Response.write(&quot;<br>&quot; & typename(Sess)) I get a return of &quot;Nothing&quot;. Which seems to mean the variable Sess doesn't refer to anything. Does that mean the logon has failed? If so, shouldn't it return an error?

Arrgggh!
