Session Variables Start Disappearing
I have a site that works fine for days, then suddenly, I start getting ASP 0115 errors with an indication that session variables IN SEPARATE SESSIONS have disappeared!
First, for background information, I have a customized 500-100 page that sends the value of various session variables via email to my support site. On the home page of the site, the FIRST THING that is done is a Session variable is created that saves the Session ID. I see an ASP 0115 error thru the email, with NO value defined for the session variable that SHOULD contain the Session ID. After the first error, I see more of them.

Here is how it goes in simpliest terms.
We have a link to an ecommernce page, it uses sessions
(which we do not have access to change)
I want to create a popup window that will create a new
Internet Explorer browser to open (at a page i specify).
I dont mean like the javascript where it just opens a
window and contains all the info that u have (same as if
you hit ctl-n) I mean lauching Internet Explorer new
again, going to this specific site to aviod the session
that it is already in?

Here is the process on the site before I ask the question:
User logs in
session is created based on username and userid
user edits a record in the db
a hidden field with the userid session is inserted in the db to show
who edited the record
I had a user ( mike, id -1 ) edit a record today but the userid that
got inserted was 2 ( scott ). mike doenst know scotts credentials and
scott has never used the PC that mike is using, matter of fact scott
hasnt even logged into the site today.

I want to create an administration page which lists all the current users who are on the site at the moment.
I know coldfusion has this feature built in using the SessionTracker class... does ASP have something similar? If not... is there any way I can just iterate through all the session files on the server...?

I have a classic ASP page which links through to an ASP.NET 1.1 page.
Basically there is a hyperlink on the classic ASP page that opens the ASP.NET
page in the same window. I can then go back to my classic ASP page by
clicking on a link on the ASP.NET page. It all seems to work seamlessly,
apart from 1 end user. What they find is that if they click on the link and
open up the ASP.NET page, then go back to the classic ASP page, all the
classic ASP cookies have been emptied out, yet the session info still
remains. They are running on a Windows Server 2003 machine with IIS 6. I've
tried to replicate it here, but as yet have been unsuccessful.

I have some page content stored in an Access DB. I want it pulled from the db and posted to a .asp page. I am using Dreamweaver to create a simple query and to display the data. If the data is just plain text it will display. However, if I enter any HTML (even entity references) the page still renders but the text will not show up. I don't get an error or anything. Everything else works just find but the text does not show. If I change the content in the DB back to plain text it will show up again. What the heck is going on? Anyone have any ideas? I need it two display with the HTML as this is part of a small CMS for a client.

I've got some bizarre behavior going on with my ASP code below. For
some strange reason (and I'm a newbie to ASP so it's probably obvious
to others) I can't display all the rows of data from the query. As an
example, the Problem Solution column doesn't display and unless I
comment out another column. Or if I move Problem Solution and it make
ithe first column, then the Root Cause won't display. Code:

My website uses cookies to persist a certain amount of data on the client. However, occasionally the cookies will disappear or be set to an empty string for no discernable reason. It does not happen in our development environment at all, but does happen in our production environment. We looked at all the likely settings and they were identical on both the production and live servers.
We set the cookie domain properly and the cookie path.
Has anyone seen similar behavior? And if so, what did you do about it? What IIS settings should I be looking at? Could it be a service pack that was installed on one machine but not another?

I am calling a subroutine when I click a submit button. In the subroutine I grab values from text boxes and validate them. If it all works then it goes to the Update page.
Well my validating works but when it calls the Update page I am using the Request.Form to get the values from the form to update/insert into the database.
Well if I do an update it updates all the fields as empty. If I try to do an insert is says it can't insert NULL into the Primary key field.
Now most of the time the Primary key field is a list box and I don't touch it in the subroutine. Still why are all my values disappearing when I call the subroutine??
So I guess that is it. When I validate a forms values, them same values are no longer available on another page through Request.Form?

I am using Session variables in my ASP application. I have tested the
application on a Win2k professional and it works fine. When the same web
app is installed on a win2k advanced server from the client browser when the
app is accessed the session variable returns null inspite of a value being
already set. I have checked the IIS enable session state settings. When i
use the server machine as client and access the app as localhost then the
session variable has correct value.
How can this be solved? What other settings if any, need to be changed to
get it work.

Do session variables carry over if you've left your site and come back?
My shopping cart uses PayPal/IPN to transact and then enter details of the transaction into my database. All of the data entry takes place after IPN has returned all of the data to my site.
A couple of the fields I need to populate are held in session variables throughout the application. When the customer clicks on the checkout button, and is sent over to PayPal's server to complete the transaction, will the session variables still be available to me upon returning to my site?

Is there a way to close a single session variable, once it's been created? I have an application that requires a several session variables to be created once a person enteres a certian section of my site. When they leave the variables are set to nothing, as they are no longer needed. I'd like to just close them out, but I will still need to keep the session open, so Session.Abandon will not work in this case.

On my IIS 5.0 i have enable session state set to 20 minutes
ASP SCRIPT TIMEOUT set to 200 seconds.
On my asp pages i even coded in session.timeout = 60
When i check the value of one of my sessions on a page i
am being returned to main page.
i.e If session("basket") = "" then
go to mainpage.asp
When i check the session.timeout on the page this is set
to 60
If i wait around for a few minutes i.e 5 then i am taken
back to mainpage.asp...
The server is not given me the 20 minutes session state.

I cannot seem to get session variables to work on our test server.
The test server is running windows server 2000 with service pack 4, iis 5.0.2195.6620, and sql server 2000.
However, on our main server, NT 4.0 fully updated, they do work.
Could anyone enlighten me as to why session variables don't work on Windows Server 2000?

We have different types of logins for our accounts on our intranet. When a
person logs in, a Session variable is set to determine their level of
access. For sake of argument, say the two LoginTypes are Manager and
Employee.When I log in (as a Manager), I get a certain set of options on the
homepage. Then I return to the login page, after logging in as myself, and
log in as an Employee. For some reason, the page seems "cached" and the
manager options will still display. If I refresh this page, it will appear
the way it should. I *think* this only happens when I copy/paste a URL that
I was at as a Manager. I believe that if I click a link, it displays
properly.Is there a way to prevent this? I do a ton of copying/pasting
URLs.

I would like to declare a session variable.
' Use session variables for the recordsets for the GetSubordinates and IsManager functions
Dim orgStructRS
set orgStructRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Where can I declare this session variables?
Once I use the recordset in both the functions, where do I close these recordsets?

I have read couple of articles warning against the use of storing VB COM
objects (Apartment Threading) in Session Variables due to the fact that
these variables could go bad.My question is what's the workaround this?
I have also read about making ASP Stateless...I'm guessing that means
turning the session and application variables off and if you do that
then how do you pass information for a particular user from one page to
another?I'm confused about how to get an ASP site working without using
Application and Session variables as well as not storing VB COM objects
in Session Variables.

I have a session variable in a login page. Then I go to a form page where I
uses the ProfileID and the UserID. Then I go to a result page where I would
like to use the UserID as a filter, but I can't get the value is stored in it.

I'm loading a variable into the session variables that will be for checking to see if the user can access a certain area of the website. When the user logs out or gives and incorrect login password is it better to kill off all the variables using session.abandon or to set the session access variable to False?
I'm not really concerned about using the servers resources with this one variable, but I would like to keep the server as free as possible.

I've noticed that in my ASP application that session variables are not carried over from
one IE6 open browser window to another.
Can anyone tell me how IE can do this? It seems like it's a useful protection mechanism
that I can add to my application.
BTW, I'm looking for a way to determine if someone is moving cookies between computers.
How IE and/or ASP handles sessions might give me some insights (and I'm open to
suggestions as to how to prevent cookie stealing?)

I have an ASP [Classic] application running under IIS 5 & 6 [on different
servers (obviously)]
I need to implement Session() variables to cache some frequently looked up
data. Because of the nature of the data, it is best held in the Session()
rather than the Application() object.Is there a limit to the how long the parameter name can be?
For example:
Session("HairColour") - the parameter name length her is 10 characters -
what's the max length (is there a max length)?
I ask because my code will generate these parameter names on the fly and I
don't want them to break anything

I have a question regarding ASP session variables.
My assumption was that a session variable has the same lifetime as the
session itself: as a consequence, given that closing the browser doesn't
terminate the session, the session variable is kept alive until the
session expires.But, surprisingly, I've found this to be true for the session variables
whose value is set in the global.asa file, but if the value is set in an
..asp script, it appears to be erased from the session object as soon as
the browser is closed although the session is still alive. Strange. Is
this a bug?What I'd need to know is: how I can make session variables whose value
is set in an .asp script persistent as long as the session is alive.

In my GLOBAL.ASA file I'm trying to create a session variable for reference
in the various webpages of my site....
Sub Session_OnStart
Session("LoggedOn")="Y"
End Sub
When referring to Session("LoggedOn") on my various ASP pages, it is coming
up as "".
I'm obviously misunderstanding how this works... Can anyone point me the
right direction?
Eventually I'll need to access a database and I'm assuming that if I need to
connect to that database, that I'll need to create the connection in the
Session_OnStart event and destroy the connection in the Session_OnEnd event
of the GLOBAL.ASA file.

On the index page of my site the following code creates a unique user id in the form:
{B851C038-989D-4BE9-B280-32F6A97FEDEC}
if session("userid") = "" then
session("userid") = left(createobject("scriptlet.typelib").guid,38)
end if
This is checked in every page to make sure the user has an id with the following code:
if session("userid") = "" then
response.redirect "index.asp"
end if
When the user has finally finished filling their webcart the userid is posted to the database but for some reason, with about 1 in 5 visitors to the site the database saves an empty field for the userid.
Does anyone know of any issues with session variables or any browser / config that could cause this to happen.

I am having some trouble with seesion variables.
I have just moved hosting companies to Brinkster.com but have been
having problems with my applications holding session.
They say they can't guarantee sessions and recomend another method of
storing persistant data.
I questioned them on why, only on their servers, my sessions are being
reset as often as they are. They said it must be a coding issue.
However, I have not had trouble before, with same applications on
different or local servers.
So my question is this, what can reset session data? Just a reset of
iis?

I'm having problems with carrying variables over from one page to another and then using them in if/then statements.

I have a website written in asp that uses session variables. On
one workstation the session variable always comes back as an empty
string, like it doesn't exist. What could cause this? Is there a
browser setting or some type of security that can control whether
session variables are created?

I have some pages in an asp site. Page one collects some data through a form and posts it to page two. Page two inserts the data into an access database and sets three of them as session variables. Page three is supposed to display those variables. My problem is that page three does not display any variables. All the variables are declared correctly and when i tried displaying them with page 2, they displayed properly but between page 2 and 3, they get lost.

I have an web application framework that uses sessions to
maintain a userID and some other variables. If a userID
is not present in the session collection, it redirects the
user to a login page, assuming their session expired.
However, this has been happening seemingly at random on
some of our implementations. The configuration is
basically the same... IIS 5.0, Win2k, IE6, etc. Also,
this happens even when a user goes from screen to screen
so it isn't a timeout issue.
Is it client-side? Server-side? Is it due to some additional security features added
in updates to IE? I don't think we ever had this problem
in IE5.5, but I don't have a written history of that.
