Hi !

I also wrote this a couple of days to "beginning_asp" m but no one answered

so far , so I am trying my luck here now.

My global.asa looks like the following :



.....

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript RUNAT=Server>

Sub Application_OnStart

dim feld (19)

for i=0 to 19

feld(i)=" "

next



Application("eng")=feld



End Sub



So Application("feld") is an array , right?!



Well , in an asp page I try the follwing :

<%@ LANGUAGE = VBScript %>

<%  Option Explicit %>

<% dim feld , x %>

<%

feld=application("eng")

Response.Write(UBound(feld , 1))

%>



But it doesnīt work. I get two errors :

if I make dime feld() instead of dim feld , I get a "data type mismatch

error" and with dim feld I get the error "type mismatch".

UBound is an official VBScript function that gives you the upper dimension

of an array .

So Response.Write(UBound(feld, 1 )) should give me the size of  feld aka

Application("eng") .

Can you please explain me why it is not working?  Do you maybe know another

way to get the size of the "array" Application("eng") .

Is there a way to create dynamically Application objects? So I donīt put

them in the global.asa under the Application_On_Start event but create them

out of a  normal asp script?



Thanks for your time!

Well there must be something else, either in your global.asa or your asp 

page because this works fine.  I pasted it into a clean global.asa and a 

new asp page and I got '19' back in the browser.



Post your complete code and we'll have a look.



If you use Dim feld() you are getting a type mismatch because your array 

is not initialized. You can get away with just Dim feld because feld is a 

variant datatype and variants can contain arrays, so no problem.



As to your other question, you can set Application variables from anywhere 

- it doesn't have to be in global.asa.  Just remember to use 

Application.Lock before the change and .Unlock after.

Hello Phil!



Thank you for answering me and helping to find the solution :) . It seems it

is no coding problem but a server problem , not initalizing the global.asa

correct.

I used to have my skripts in a subfolder of the root and then moved them to

the root and voila it worked :) . Then moved them back to the subfolder and

it didnīt work. Then I waited some minutes tried it again and it worked ,

looks like for me the asp service or something has problems.

Glad you found the solution.  This is not a problem with your server - 

global.asa must be in the root direrctory.  You can't put it anywhere else.

The global.asa was and is in the root directory , but still I can acess

Application and Session objects in a script lying a subfolder , right?

Yes scripts in subfolder can access Application and Session objects.
