Session Variables

Hey Tibby.

The proper way to create a session variable is:

Session["VarName"] = value;

Or you can use the Add method as:

Session.Add("VarName", value);

Either way will work.

Next to remove an item from the session state:

Session.Remove("VarName");

To clear all items from the session state use:

Session.Clear();

HTH.

Me", then to reference it, I would use something like
MsgBox(Session["myVar"])
Just to make sure I'm on the same page.
