Help with modifying session variable

[bobmmp]

Hi. I have an application that I am working on where I am storying information passed from a form to a session veriable.

Session("books&quot = Session("books&quot & intRefNumber & ":" & strBookTitle & ":" & strBookSubject & ":" & strBookRecommend & "|"

When several items are added to the session the session looks like this

1:Book Name 1:Book Subject 1:no|1:Book Name 2:Book Subject 2:yes|

I then use the split(variable, "|&quot into a 2d array.

I want to be able to delete items from the session without having to do it in the array and rebuild the session.

when using Session("books&quot = removeItem(intReferenceNumber, Session("books&quot I get a type mismatch error.

Am I doing something wrong or is this not allowed.

Thanks for any help!

Bob

I am presuming that the removeItem is a function that you have written. CAn you post the code for that funcion. Mighty

Also you might consider subkeys if you're stuck with session variables.
e.g.
Session("books&quot = Session("books&quot & intRefNumber & ":" & strBookTitle & ":" & strBookSubject & ":" & strBookRecommend & "|"
becomes
Session("BookTitle&quot(intRefNumber)=strBookTitle
Session("BookSubject&quot(intRefNumber)=strBookSubject
Session("BookRecommend&quot(intRefNumber)=strBookRecommend codestorm
