Object required: Session

Hi,
I'm trying to check on each asp page whether the
session("UserId") has expired before it redirects to
login page. Here how the process goes.

1. I am able to initialise the session("UserId") after
login to the web
Set session("UserId") = "ID"

2. However problems occurs for subsequent pages because
now the session("UserId") always remains blank.
Since I include a checking on each page for session
timeout, therefore it always redirect to login page.

If Session("UserID") = "" Then
Response.Redirect("Login.asp")
End if

3. Hence, I try to harcode the session for testing.
Set Session("UserID") = "Test"
If Session("UserID") = "" Then
Response.Redirect("Login.asp")
End if

However, it prompts an error for the new line I have
added.

Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01A8)
Object required: 'Session'

For your information, it works fine on the production
server, but problem occurs in the development server (both
running Win2K Server SP3, IIS 4.0.2.4022)

Please help!! Appreciate any feedbacks. Thanks.

Regards
Wilson

you don't need "set" here...

Hi Ray,
Thanks for your feedback. I am already met all 3
conditions you specified and yet still having the same
problem. However, I found out that the Session.SessionID
value keep changing each time I refresh the page. Could
this be the reason?

Any idea how to overcome this ever changing
Session.SessionID?

Thanks.

Wilson

After the login page, where are you redirecting to? Another asp page in the
same web application (session state will be maintained) or possibly to
another page in another web application (session state will be lost)?

Are you really runat=server, or is this an clientside (IE) error ?

> Set Session("UserID") = "Test"

Or perhaps it is the spurious "Set" ?
You cannot make this object, as it is already there in ASP.
