re-fire global.asa ?

[Ted Dawson]

Last week I was storing my variables in a database and retrieving them on
every page of my application, but this week I want to retrieve them only
once and store them in an application variable. This works, but if I have to
change one of the variables, the application variable remains unchanged
until the web server is restarted, thus re-firing global.asa.

Is there a way to force global to fire again, refreshing my variables?

Perhaps next week ...

Seriously, I do not believe you cannot change application variables in real
time. My active visitor counter would not work, if that were true

Yes, but you will end all the active sessions.
Your users will not like that.

Ted,

They are application Variables. So when you make changes to the variables and save to the database
just do this.

Application.Lock
Application("VAR1") = var1newvalue
"""
"""
"""
Application.UnLock

This will update the variables and not loss the session variable data to connected clients.
