    releasing session variables


    Hi,

    I have a bunch of session variables that I want to set, use, then release.
    Is this possible? I know I can abandon a users session, but I want to abandon
    individual session variables. Example:

    Session("UserEmail") = "bla@bla.com"
    Server.Execute("email.asp")
    Session("UserEmail").clear

    I'm using a lot session variables to pass data between forms, and once I'm
    done with them, I want to release any memory associated with their usage.

    Thanks!

    Set them to an empty string.

    That would be just changing the value of the variable. I want to make the
    session variable non-existent, gone, zilch, zap. I don't think setting it
    to "" is going to release the resources it's consuming.

    See the Session.Contents.Remove method.
