Is it necessary to declare session in Global.asa?

[hxx]

I am currently working with a project about online dss. The flow of one form to another is continuous, meaning that the information from the first form will be passed to the second, the second will be passed to the third and so on.

I have declared a session in the first form. I could call it from the second form but when come to the third form, the session could not be called anymore. why? Do I have to declare the session in the global.asa? In what condition it is necessary to declare session in Global.asa?

Global.asa does not require sessions, you can declare session variables anytime you like, global.asa is useful when you want to set a property or perform an event for one of the four events

-Application Start
-Session Start
-Session End
-Application End

Make sure you are actually declaring a session variable.
You do NOT have to put it in global.asa.

Your code should be similar to this:
Session("Session_Parm01&quot = "whatever"

Then to fetch it in another asp:
dim x_parm01
x_parm01 = Session("Session_Parm01&quot

The session variables will exist until the browser window is closed or the app times out.
