Can if statements be used in global.asa?

[Lord Merlin]

When using "if then" statements in global, I get the following error:

a.. Error Type:
(0x8002802B)
Element not found.
//global.asa, line 12
Can I use if then statements in global?

Here is the statement:

if request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST") = "localhost" then

Application("question") = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security
Info=False;User ID='********';'Password='***********';Initial
Catalog='******';Data Source=localhost"

else
Application("question") = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Persist Security
Info=False;User ID='**********';Password='**********';Initial
Catalog='*****';Data Source=<remote-host>"
end if

It's not the if...then that's causing the problem. It's the attempt to use
the Request object, which is not available in global.asa. The Request object
is only available in pages that are called (requested) by a client. Don't
forget: global.asa is not called by the client: it runs when one of the 4
events takes place (session start and end, application start and end). There
is no Request opject associated with these events.

The Request object is available in global.asa - at least in Session_OnStart.

I stand corrected. The Request object is available in Session_OnStart.
