Do not store COM objects in session variables. This is a big performance killer. You can store text and numbers, but objects are a big no-no.<br /><br /><br />------------<br />PVS at 3/18/2000 11:56:50 PM<br /><br /><br />Hello all,<br />I am new to ASP programming.<br />Is there any way to give session or application scope to variables from any asp page.<br />I know that I can use GLOBAL.ASA file to give any variables session or application scope.<br />In my case I want to declare one COM object with session or application scope from one of the asp page in my application.<br />In fact I don't want to use global.asa file<br /><br />How can I do that???<br /><br />Regards,<br />PVS
