Use an #include file in the global.asa, and this is where you create your
array. The #include file looks like this:
<script language = vbscript runat = server>
function buildArray()
dim myArray(2)
myArray(0) = "a"
myArray(1) = "b"
myArray(2) = "c"
application("myArray") = myArray
end function
</script>
Then in global.asa:
<script language = vbscript runat = server>
sub application_onstart()
buildArray()
end sub
</script>
Then have an #include file, included in EVERY page that will need the array,
that does this:
<!--#include file = buildArray.asp -->
<script language = vbscript runat = server>
myArray = application("myArray")
if not isArray(myArray) then buildArray()
</script>
Or, you could just rebuild the array on every page that needs it, if it's
static enough that you just want to rebuild it if it disappears.
