Set Session variable

[gabui]

How do I set a session variable on a .aspx page
OS XP and Access database on dreamweaver MX
I'm using the code
<%Session(&quot;SUser&quot=Request.Form(&quot;txtUName&quot%>
Where txtUName is input by the user and verified as existing in the database (that works)
Where does the code need to be and can I set it on a page with frames?
Any help ?

in the same page right under the recordset used to filter/look for username

....the reocrd set and sql....
ExistingUsers_numRows = 0
%>

<!--  Redirect potential new user to &quot;RegisterFailed.asp&quot; if offered username is already in use -->

<%' Redirect new user if UserName is in use 
      If NOT ExistingUsers.EOF Then
        Response.Redirect(&quot;RegisterFailed.asp&quot;)
       ELSE
  %>
<% End If %>
<% ' Make a session variable from entered UserName if it is now valid
   Session(&quot;svUserName&quot;)= Request.Form(&quot;tfUserName&quot;) 
%>

All the best!

Lebisol,

Similar question with regards.

Would I make a hidden field in the posting form and add the Remote.Addr be assigned to it the call a request.form to set it to session variable. Not really up to speed yet.

ones session is made u don't need to &quot;hide it&quot; in order to pass it like tokens....which is exactly what makes sessions so great.....all u have to do is call it later (at any time on any page) and use it....to test that u have it created just make any page that follow the creation and use Response.Write(&quot;<%= svUserName %>&quot

All the best!

Thanks Lebisol,

I know how to call them just was/am not sure how to instate the server variables to session variables guess the prior post was off a tad.
