Anyone know how to define a variable as global? I want all the SUB procedures in my global.asa to be able to reference this one variable without assuming it's some kinda local variable to the SUB

I haven't use the global.asa yet, but by putting a variable in the global.asa file, doesn't that make it global?

Well, I think that all functions in a GLOBAL.ASA file are global, but I needed to find out if a variable defined in the Global.asa file had to be IN or OUT of a function to be classified as FULLY Global. Know what I mean?

If it's anything like programming, I would venture to say that it would have to be defined out of the function, or more precise, before the function.

I'm finding that the Session_OnEnd Sub won't fire if you use Session information in it. All I need it to do is store the SessionID I want removed first and foremost in a global variable, then I wouldnt mind the Session being abandoned, bucause the global var will contain the now expired session info

Doesn't the Session_OnEnd Sub execute only when a session expires and NOT abandonned? (I dunno, I'm new to all this and still learning! hehhe)

Exactly. So storing a procedure that uses the Session ID to query the ActiveUser Table for deletion won't work because when it fires on the expire, the SessionID doesn't exist anymore.

I'm trying to figure out a way that I can store the SessionID into a variable when they login and then have that variable available for the Session_OnEnd Sub so it can remove the user from the DB.
