Having taken your advice and experimented with some non FP Ext reliant code,
I have discovered that the solution to this problem almost certainly lies in
the fact that the Session object is not persisting past page re-directions,
(in this case to global.asa) therefore the Session variables, ie the Form
Saved Data arrays, are not persisting either.
This I have proved by extensive use of the debugger tool using test asp
scripts.
This is also provable by creating an asp with the script;
<% response.write(session.sessionid) %>
And viewing in browser, the returned id no. changes on each page refresh,
indicating that the Session is not being sustained.
As I understand Session communication is dependant upon cookies,
I have set Internet Explorer for minimum security and to accept all cookies.
IIS is configured to support Session state, with the default expiry of 20
mins.
In test scripts, substituting Application object variables for Session
object variables works perfectly well, (but with the disadvantage of the
extended scope.)
What other factors determine Session persistence ?
If Session is maintained by IIS, what effects does global.asa have ?
What other configuration parameters need setting to allow Sessions to
survive re-direction ?
Are any other hacks or patches required ?
I hope you can help me solve this problem, if not can you point me to
somewhere for further assistance.
Many thanks, in advance
Ian
