Hi there i know this is a daft question but i have been playing with this block of code and know i am missing something really simple.

I have created a two sessions - (tf4) (tf5).

I want tf4 to store a value which is simple to do no problems. But if session-tf4 already has a value stored in it then i would like tf5 to capture the value. I have tried to do this with an if statement but both the sessions get populated with exactly the same value each time i run through the application.

The code is like this:

<%
Session("keycode") = Request( "keycode")
%>
<%
Session("tf4") = Request( "keycode")
%>
<%
if Session("tf4") <> "" or Session("tf4") = Session("Keycode") then
session("tf5") = session("keycode")
Else
Session("tf4") = Session("Keycode")
end if
%>


So I will only need session tf5 if tf4 has a value stored in it. Any suggestions on what i could do? Do apologise about the silly question, thanks.

I dont know ASP, so I cant show you code, but in theory it should be this:

if tf4 is not empty{
tf5 = something
}

Maybe you can work with that theory.

Remember that sessions persist across page refreshes - if you want to test this is working properly, stick:

Session.Abandon() 

before it all, and that will clear any previous runs.

Try this:

strTemp = Request.Form("KeyCode")
Session("TF4") = strTemp
If Not IsNull(Session("TF4")) And Session("TF4") <> "" Then
'Session TF4 has a value
Session("TF5") = Session("TF4")
Else
'Session TF4 had no value
End If

Hope this helps but I get the impression you're trying to do something the wrong way lol
