ASP Session variable problem ...

[PM]

I'm trying to make a kind of search history containing the 3 last
searched words. So I'm using 3 Session Variables: Word1 / Word2 /
Word3.

In order to get this history working, I need to put the last searched
word in the following Variable.

Ex.:
Session("Word3") = Session("Word2")
Session("Word2") = Session("Word1")
Session("Word1") = Request.QueryString("WORDS")

That way, Word1 is equal to the last searched word, Word2 is equal to
the last value contained in Word1 and Word3 is equal to the last value
contained in Word2.

So, if I search those words in order: carot, orange, apple, rabbit; it
should end up like this:

Word1 = "carot"
Word2 = ""
Word3 = ""

=========

Word1 = "orange"
Word2 = "carot"
Word3 = ""

=========

Word1 = "apple"
Word2 = "orange"
Word3 = "carot"

=========

Word1 = "rabbit"
Word2 = "apple"
Word3 = "orange"

=========

**************************
But instead of this I get:

Word1 = "carot"
Word2 = ""
Word3 = ""

=========

Word1 = "orange"
Word2 = "carot"
Word3 = "carot"

=========

Word1 = "apple"
Word2 = "orange"
Word3 = "orange"

=========

Word1 = "rabbit"
Word2 = "apple"
Word3 = "apple"

=========

I can't explain what is happening!?
Please, can somebody help me!
Thanks a lot!

** and sorry if my english isn't very good ...

Is your "Ex." your actual code? That should work. Try this to see:
<%
Session("Word3") = Session("Word2")
Session("Word2") = Session("Word1")
Session("Word1") = Request.FORM("WORDS")
%>

<form method=post>
<input name="words">
<input type=submit>
</form>

<%
response.write "1: " & session("word1") & "<br>" & "2: " &
session("word2") & "<br>" & "3: " & session("word3")
%>

I i'm PM ...

I can't give you all my code here's what I can show you... anything else
does not effect thi section anyway...

Take note that "Word" is replaced by "mot", "mot" is french for "Word".
The QueryString "block" is only a flag that I use to say either I change
my session variables or not. The only time I change the those variables
is when I submit my form. Don't worry!, there is a form in my page, a
textfield named mots and a button used to submit it.

--- Befrore HTML ---
If (Not(Request.Cookies("mot1") Is Nothing)) And (Session("mot1") Is
Nothing) Then Session("mot1") = Request.Cookies("mot1").value
If (Not(Request.Cookies("mot2") Is Nothing)) And (Session("mot2") Is
Nothing) Then Session("mot2") = Request.Cookies("mot2").value
If (Not(Request.Cookies("mot3") Is Nothing)) And (Session("mot3") Is
Nothing) Then Session("mot3") = Request.Cookies("mot3").value

If Request.QueryString("block") <> "1" Then
If Trim(Request.QueryString("mots")) <> "" Then
Session("mot3") = Session("mot2")
Session("mot2") = Session("mot1")
Session("mot1") = Request.QueryString("mots")
End If
End If
