Yes, it's sesion variable question again. Don't seem to get it! Please help...

I have "new user sign up page" which takes username into "name" textfield. On submit value of "name" gets inserted into DB and "extended sign up page"
comes up with bunch of fields. I want to store new user name in session variable and pass it to the "extended page" and be able to update DB with further information for that "name". Questions:

Would session variable expression look like this:
<% Session("cur_name"= Request.Form("name" %>

On which page do I create this session variable - where the field "name" is or the next page?

Is recordset required?

Thanks in advance!

You can do both ways.

If you want to create session variable on the next page you'll need to fix UD bug. Find and edit part of code UD creates. Go and check this link:
www.udzone.com/showDetail.asp?TypeId=2&NewsId=385

In this case you don't need to create session variable just filter recordset on second page with Request.QueryString("name". This is the option I would choose.

To create session variable on the first page find this code:
***
' *** Insert Record: set variables

If (CStr(Request("MM_insert") <> "" Then
***
and insert below it
<% Session("cur_name"= Request.Form("name" %>
