session variables in VBScript??

[JanS]

Is it possible to reference a session variable through vbscript? I am storing the username entered by the user and would like to reference the session variable storing this information in a vbscript sub.

Is it possible? if so, how do i do it??

thanks in advance

you can pull a session variable in simply by requesting it into the page receiving the session variable.

username = session("username&quot

Generally, it's a good idea to stay away from session variables if you can tho. If the user is submitting this from a form, you could use:

<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;username&quot; value=&quot;<%=request('namevar')%>&quot;>

where namevar is the name of the text box

or you could write a cookie to the user(s) pc and then retrieve the info from the cookie.
