trouble with example 14

[Wayne]

Help!!!!
I feel really stupid, but I can't understand the contents of example 14 and can't seem to get the thing to work.
I think that I managed to export fields to session variables, but I really don't understand how to access the session vairiables correctly.
the "ASPDB_n_Fieldname" is making my brain hurt. Specifically that is the dbUnit number??????? How do I know which one to use?
Also can I put a field number into this thing instead of a field name???

Wayne, this is an easy format to use:

Field1=1
Field2=CARS
Field3=3
Field4=BRAND
-----------
dbunit=1
dbexportflds=0,1,2,3
dbgriddisplayflds=-1
-----------

<% = session(aspdb_1_1) %>
<% = session(aspdb_1_CARS) %>
<% = session(aspdb_1_3) %>
<% = session(aspdb_1_BRAND) %>

here is some code for a plant database.

sessionid = <%=session.sessionid%> <BR>

Hi Wayne,

Try replacing the field NUMBER with the field NAME when displaying the session variables. We export them by name. In our example A14a, you&#39;ll notice that we display:

Session(&#34;ASPdb_14_FirstName&#34

even though we simply export &#34;1,2,3,4...&#34;

That should do it!
