Tornado - Export Variables

There is probably some simple solution for this but if it is, it's not obvious.
I'm using Tornado Gold and have done similar programming using Classic.

I need to capture a dropdown user selection as a variable. Simply, I'm using the dbStartup = to filter then I need to place that selection in a variable which is used in a comparison IF statement, to do whatever.

IF (variable = constant then
do something
else
do something else
end if

In capturing the filter result in a session variable it appears that it can only be used outside the WITH statement and after the .ASPdb.NET() statement.The variable is compaired using in an IF statement.

with z1
<.db statements>
.ASPDB.NET()
end with

note: IF statement will work here but the variable is outside the ASPdb.NET().

How do I use the exported data within the WITH and ASPdb.NET statements?

with z1
<.db statements>
need to use IF statement here
ASPdb.NET()
end with :confused:

I believe I figured this out, no need of replying..... thanks, Paul

with is just a 'lazy' tool. Get rid of that and use obj.property instead of .property an dit will be clearer. With has nothing to do with the exports.
