Hi

Please help

I don't understand why I could not get the value which I defined in global.asa file.

here is my global.asa file

<OBJECT RUNAT=Server SCOPE=Session ID=MyInfo PROGID="MSWC.MyInfo">
</OBJECT>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript RUNAT=Server>
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("BldgRootFolderPath")="http://"&<% =Request.ServerVariables(SERVER_NAME) %>&"/bldg/"
End Sub
Sub Application_OnEnd
Application("BldgRootFolderPath")=""

End Sub

And in my .asp file I called different ways, but I could not get the value

<% Application("BldgRootFolderPath") %>

  <% Application(BldgRootFolderPath) %>
  <% =Application(BldgRootFolderPath) %>


  <% =BldgRootFolderPath %>

Hi there,

The problem may be caused by the fact that the Application has a scope for the entire application, while the Request is related to an individual user / request.

When the app starts, I guess there is no such thing as Request.ServerVariables......

Hi Imar,

when I try to change my application value to 1 I still could not be able to retrieve the value



here is my global.asa file

<OBJECT RUNAT=Server SCOPE=Session ID=MyInfo PROGID="MSWC.MyInfo">
</OBJECT>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript RUNAT=Server>
Sub Application_OnStart
  Application("BldgRootFolderPath")=1
End Sub


And in my .asp file I called different ways, but I could not get the value

<% Application("BldgRootFolderPath") %>

  <% Application(BldgRootFolderPath) %>
  <% =Application(BldgRootFolderPath) %>


  <% =BldgRootFolderPath %>

Right, I see.

Here's what's wrong with the stuff you tried:

  <% Application("BldgRootFolderPath") %>

This is the correct way to retrieve the value, but you are not outputting it.

  <% =Application(BldgRootFolderPath) %>

This is the correct way to output it, but you are not really retrieving it. BldgRootFolderPath is a local variable, and not the name of the App variable.

Mix the two:

  <% =Application("BldgRootFolderPath") %>

and it should work.

Tip of the day: Add this to the top of every ASP page you create:

<% Option Explicit %>

This forces you to declare your variables, so you could have caught the problem with BldgRootFolderPath.
