determining if a session exists 1

[DeepBlerg]

I am trying to determine if a session exists (or is blank) (to prevent people accessing a page without logging on to a previous page before)

I use this code:

If session("username&quot OR session("password&quot = "" then
response.write "You must log-in first."
else
username= session("username&quot
password= session("password&quot
end if

and it returns a type mismatch error.

What should the code be?

You are missing the = "" on the first statement. Replace your first line with:

If session("username&quot = "" OR session("password&quot = "" then

inside your global.asa file, have:

sub session_OnStart
session("LoggedIn&quot = 0
end sub

In the ASP that validates a user's login, put this line after you've checked the username/password is valid:

session("LoggedIn&quot = 1


At the top any page where the user must be logged in before seeing it just use:

if session(&quot;LoggedIn&quot <> 1 then
response.redirect &quot;login.asp&quot;
end if
