I have some session variables ("Scripting.Dictionary" vars) that I use to
store data during a user's session. In an ASP page, if I reference these
vars in a script, do I need to release them (the references) at the end of
the script?  Will the refs build up if I don't?

                Warfield

<%
        <<oMyVar = Session("UserData")>>

            .. some  work...

         <<set oMyVar=nothing>>
%>

I believe the reference should not "build up". However, I encountered a
problem a while back where if I did not release my connection object, I
eventually got an error (don't remember what it was, but it was an ODBC
error) When I changed the code to release the object every thing worked
fine.

Now the reason that I did not release the items in the first place is
because I forgot. It is good practice to release your object (garbage
collection) after you're done with them.
