Session Variables (Not Working)

Hi All,

This one has me stumped pretty bad. If anyone has any idea why my session
variables are not working, I would be forever in your debt.
Is it possible that I have something configured incorrectly with my server??

Anyway, here is my code for the 2 pages: (Set_Session.aspx and
Page_Manager.aspx):
Here is the Set_Session.aspx Page:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<script language="VB" runat="server">
Sub SetSessionVariable_Click(ByVal s As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Session("sessDepartment") = tfDepartment.Text
Session("sessEditPages") = tfEditPages.Text
Response.Redirect("Page_Manager.aspx")
End Sub
</script>
<html>

<p align="center" class="HEADERTEXT">Authorization Test </p>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="" runat = "server">
<table width="300" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td class="BodyText">sessDepartment:</td>
<td><asp:TextBox ID="tfDepartment" runat="server" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="BodyText">sessEditPages:</td>
<td><asp:TextBox ID="tfEditPages" runat="server" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td><asp:Button ID="btSubmit" Text="Set Variables"
runat="server" onClick="SetSessionVariable_Click"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<p align="center" class="HEADERTEXT"> </p>

***************************************************************
And here is the Page_Manager.aspx Page:

Hi All,

Absolutely great news. I got it working. : -)
Your not going to believe what happened. I actually had everything (the code
that is) correct. I had a very good laugh when I figured out that my Firewall
was blocking any access of my session variables. I turned my Firewall off and
everything worked perfect.....absolutely perfect.

Well, I had a good laugh at myself. I should have known to turn off this
program way before I started this webpage design.
Lesson learned I guess......

I just want to say thanks to all for taking the time to help out a beginner.
Really appreciate it. I'm sure I'll get stuck on something else (hopefully not
the easy stuff). This discussion board is great. Its saving me from pulling
out my hair.

Thanks Again,
Jim

Jim,

I wouldn't recommend turning off your firewall. You should be able to
specify http://localhost/ as a trusted domain in your firewall config,
instead of turning it off.
