"global" variables

[Sir Psycho]

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.
