I'm drafting a response to an rpf. The client wants a MS ASP solution. They've set some standards and I'm curious why thay are insisting on some things. Any help would be great. (I'm not all that familiar with ASP or VB) 1. No ASP session variables 2. They insist on the use of 'Option Explicit' in the VB code I'm more interested in why they don't want session variables.
