Anything you want to "remember" between page visits can be stored in a
cookie. For example the most common is when a user logs on to your system.
They provide a username and password and you look up their user ID based on
that. If it exists they have logged on and you stored the user ID in the
session
Session("UserID") = userID
On any page that you want to ensure the user is logged on you can see if
this value exists. Or if that user does something like add an item to their
shopping basket you have their UserID already to store in your database.
The session data is all stored on the server so can't be seen or amended by
the client, however the session ID is stored as a cooking on the client so
that the correct session for that user can be accessed by ASP.

Can I inquire just a little further and ask for a couple of simple examples
where a session variable would be needed or useful?
Thanks,
Pam
