It isn't a problem of where the folder is placed physically. The fact that
you have made the folder a virtual folder under your own application would
make it part of your application and therefore able to see the session
variables for the app.
The problem most likely is that you have made this virtual folder into an
application in it's own right. Open the properties on the virtual folder
and on the virtual directory tab click the remove button. This stops the
folder from acting as it's own application.
I really had high hopes that would work, but it didn't. The forums .asp
page isn't picking up the session vars.

It sounds like you have set up the virtual directory as an application in
its own right.
In the directories properties on the virtual directory tag click the remove
button to stop the directory acting as an application.
Note the physical location of the folder is not significant.

Follow up to those that helped. It is now working for me. The answer was
to stop it running as an application which all of you said. It didn't work
initially, then something clicked in my head and told me to stop and start
IIS. When I did that it worked. You guys really helped me out. I would
never have thought of the correct answer. Thanks, again.
