Subject: How to retrieve variable value

Dear All,

I am having problem with retrieving variable value and store it into proper table in the database

I want to pass a variable value called "strDisplayFilename" in filePost.asp and save it into "strLogo_file" in event_Update.asp    
filePost.asp and event_Update.asp do not call each other..

yesterday, I used the following way and it doesn't work

In filePost.asp
session("variable") = strDisplayFilename

in event_Update.asp
strLogo_file = session("variable")
session.abandon

this way doesn't do that work I work.
I want to upload a filename from my local pc and save it into a particular table in the database...
The way above just stores the filename into all tables in the database...
Please tell me the problem with the code above and are there any ways to solve the problem
