**HELP** Desperate Session & Objects

[Kevin]

I just installed WinXP Pro SP1. I installed IIS 5.1.

I have a project that was created in VB6 using webclasses
(yuck!). It will not run. Here is the problem:

If I do this:
Set Session("X")=new MyClass
Then do:
Debug.print isObject(Session("X"))

I get False...

If I do:
debug.print isObject(Session.contents("X"))
I get True.

The whole application is Session(x)=y or set obj1= Session
(q)

any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

specs:
winXP sp1
VB6 sp5

Not that this is an answer, but you shouldn't be storing objects in session
or application variables anyway.

I totally understand...this project - or should I say
Disaster - is what I've been thrown onto.

Also, My machine at home has the same setup..XP Pro IIS 5.1

Errm do a global find and replace across the web application for Session("
and change it to Session.Contents(" which is what you should be using
anyway. Relying on default methods and properties is dangerous (as you have
just found) since there is no guarantee that they won't change.
