"global" variables

Is there a way to set a global variable without using the Session
object?

I basically want to be able to track if a visitor is logged in without
starting a Session. Is there such a thing as a global variable that
stays alive?

hi Sir

Session is only global to a user only

i do not know the expert way, but i'd use hashtable in Cache

if cache("users") is nothing then
cache("users") = new hashtable
end if

if cache("users")( "calvin") is nothing then
'not logged on
else
'logged on
end if

You can't look at another users session data, so you need to track their
presence outside of their session, either by populating an application
object on session start and depopulating on session end, or doing the same
via the cache object.

I have an array/hash that stores path information for my app. As in, what directory this is in, what directory that's in, what the name of the site is, what the products are called, etc. It's called $glb. So, every function so far looks like this: function something() { global $glb; }

Hi and Season's Greetings to all. I have a question regarding the use of a qualifier word "Global". I cannot find any reference to this in Access help, nor in books or on the Internet. "Global" seems to be recognised by Access in at least three cases:- 1) "Global Const". Recently someone in this group helped me resolve a problem, and it involved the use of a Global Const. By Googling "Global Const", I got plenty of hits -- but they...

Hello all, I might be missing something here, but am trying to understand the difference between using application-level variables--i.e. Application("MyVar")--and global variables--i.e. public myVar as string, etc. It seems to me that the scope and duration are the same, as they both are there while the application is running, and both go away when it quits. I presume that one difference is that the application state can be "flushed," such...

If I have a class that hold, for instance, user settings that should be accessible to the entire program logic, what is a good paradigm to use? In C++, I would have made it a global object, protected if necessary for thread safety. In C#, of course, there are no global objects. The Program object is static, so cannot contain object instances. While I could store it in my main form pass it around, that seems cumbersome. I could do a...

I have this nasty problem with Shared methods and what I think of as "global storage" - i.e. storage declared outside of any subroutines or functions. In the simple example below this "global" storage is ButtonHasBeenClicked. In this simple example code in Form1 calls a routine in Module1 which then calls code back in Form1 (subroutine WhatEver). WhatEver needs to access ButtonHasBeenClicked but the reference to ButtonHasBeenClicked...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
