SYMPTOMS

You attempt to run CedarBank sample from a Web page. After you type a name into the edit box and click the "Checking Acct. Balance" button, you receive the following error message:

Error:
Session object error 'ASP 0168 : 80004005'
Disallowed object use
/cedarbank/selectpage.asp, line 4
An intrinsic object cannot be stored within the Session object.

Two statements in ~\sna\comti\tutorials\cedarbank\website\Selectpage.asp

   Set Session("CustName") = Request("CustName")

-and-

are incorrect.

WORKAROUND

Delete the word "Set" from the two problematic statements, or replace the two lines with these two statements

     Session("CustName") = Request("CustName")

-and-

     Session("CustPIN")  = Request("CustPIN"),

respectively.
