I've read that session variables are not case-sensitive but I could not get them to pass until I made the case agree with the case of the form name.

Is this odd?

What were you trying to do?
Referencing a session variable is not case sensitive.

So if you declare dim strUserID globally, you can reference it as STRUSERID or struserid.

It was never dimmed. That shouldn't have caused it, right?

This creates the session variable:


If Request.Form("Passwordlogin") <> "" Then
Session("Password") = cStr(Request.Form("passwordlogin"))
END IF

This is the original code that called the variable:


<% If session("Password") = ""  Then %>
Access Denied
<% Else %>

That wasn't working because I kept getting "Access Denied". I switched it to this and now it works:


<% If session("password") = ""  Then %>
Access Denied
<% Else %>

Are you on a Windows server? Usually session variable names are not case sensitive, but they probably are case sensitive in a Chilisoft server.
