With changed global.asa I mean whenever the document is saved.
When you make a change to the global.asa file and save it (with Dreamweaver, Notepad, whatever) the file is saved on disk, the application restarts and your app and session variables are gone.
Obviously, also reboots cause the application to restart.
What version of Windows are you using? XP doesn't allow you to create custom Application Pools, so the only thing you can do is change the Isolation level of your website in IIS on the Home tab.
On Server 2003, you can change the Isolation level on the Home tab of your web site to a custom Application Pool that you can create and configure through IIS as well.
