How can i use Session variable in repeating region

Question

I have a session variable assigned to the ID#(auto number in
access db) of messages posted. The variable only gets assigned to
the recordset that is displayed first (sort by message ID
descending). I would like to find a way to make the variable be
assigned to all the records, so the variable is passed to the
delete page. If i use a URL parameter to send the message ID then
someone could change the number in a browser and delete messages
not intended for the user.
if you want to see the example in action goto link at bottom
of message. The save and reply links are URL parameters the reply
uses the MM_Username variable to enter the name of sender so a URL
parameter is OK but click on save and then change the msdID number
in the browser to a different number and you could save and view
other message not intended for your login id. The delete link is
using a session variable that i assigned from the recordset as the
msdID# (auto number from access) and the correct msdID# does not
get assigned.
What about masking the URL parameters, this would be simple
but how can i do that?
Thanks

Your message got me to figure out how to make it work, i put the code to create the variable just before the repeating region table and then made form buttons that post the variable and labeled the buttons and it works perfect. THANKS

I not sure if I follow your in the description. I would assign the Record ID to the session variable.

Place the Record id in the repeat region.

Then you could assign that record id to a session variable when the button is click, capture the button click event. Then redirect to the EMPLOYEEMessageDELETE1.asp page, which will read in the session variable (record id) to be deleted.
