Global.asa should be the same except some thread model.<br /><br />To learn how to use global.asa you should find a book about it. Generally, global.asa stores variables that you can use for the application between everyone and between pages of a particular user. <br /><br />Application variables (e.g. Application("varName")) are seen and accessed by everyone who is using the application. Session variables (e.g. Session("varName")) are used by your session but no one else.<br />SUB Application_OnStart is fired only once when the web server is started<br />SUB Application_OnEnd is fired only once when the web server is stopped<br />SUB Session_OnStart is fired only once when someone accesses the web site and this applies to this particular user<br /><br />SUB Session_OnEnd is fired only once when the particular user disconnects completely from the web site or when time out period expires.<br /><br /><br /><br />------------<br />aldy at 5/16/2000 10:23:57 PM<br /><br />which one that i should use ??<br />I already studied with ASP 2 and ASP 3 .
