How to create a missing global.asa file

If the global.asa file is missing from your web, it is easy enough to create one:

• Open the web using Visual InterDev in the usual way.
• Create a new asp page called global.asa
• The contents of the page might, for instance, look like this:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" RUNAT="Server">

'EventName            Description
'Session_OnStart      Runs the first time a user runs any page in your application
'Session_OnEnd        Runs when a user's session times out or quits your application
'Application_OnStart  Runs once when the first page of your application is run for 
'                     the first time by any user
'Application_OnEnd    Runs once when the web server shuts down


option explicit

Sub Application_OnStart
    Application ("PayRate") = 10.50 
End Sub 

Sub Application_OnEnd
End Sub


Sub Session_OnStart
    Session("ItemCount") = 50
End Sub

Sub Session_OnEnd
End Sub

</SCRIPT>
