Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'

I'm typically a java developer but was asked to "tweak" a small ASP app my organization has. It basically accepts user input into a form and then emails the data. In my sendmail.asp file I set a session attribute (Session("emailText") = message) and then redirect to page printResults.asp.

That page is basically an HTML page with a single line of VBScript code at line 21: <%Response.Write(Session.Contents("emailText")) %> .

This all works on my local IIS server but when I deployed it to the host server to test & demo it I got this error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime 
error '800a01a8' 
Object required: '' 
/sub3/printResults.asp, line 21

Since I am new to ASP I have no clue why this would work locally but not on the host server. Any ideas or suggestions would be most helpful.

Is it possible that Session State has been disabled either in IIS or elsewhere in code?

When you redirect to printResults.asp are you staying in the same domain and sub-domain (session state will not be maintained between domain/sub-domains) and not switching between HTTP/HTTPS (sessions may have been set to HTTP only)?
