Passing a parameter through server.execute?

Question

It is possible to pass a parameter through server.execute?

Fx. I have in my site.asp an IF-scenario where I need functions.asp?a=some

You can't use querystring in Server.Execute, it's clearly mentioned in the official documentation.

What you can do is much better: you can directly access the variable id defined in site.asp inside functions.asp, and you can also declare and set another variable, a:

--site.asp:

dim id, a
id = 123
a = "something"
server.execute("functions.asp")

--functions.asp

if a = "something" and cint(id) > 100 then
    response.write("Yes way dude")
else  
    response.write("No way dude")
end if

As it creates whole new "scripting environment" the executed file won't have access to the calling code properties, methods or variables, only to the global Request parameters, Session etc.

With this in mind, I fear the most simple way around is using Session variable to pass the value between pages:

Session("id") = 123
Session("a") = "something"

And then:

if Session("a") = "something" and Session("id") > 100 then
    response.write("Yes way dude")
else  
    response.write("No way dude")
end if
