Module vs. Session

If I store a dataset in a public variable in a module (not a class, but a
module, like the old .bas file in VB), how is that different from storing it
into a session object? Both can be accessed by any web form. Are there
advantages/disadvantages to using one over another?

Sessions are per user, module variables are per application.

Oh, I see. I thought module variables were global only to the current user. I
didn't realize they were global to the application. Thanks for clarifying.
