How to retrieve info from global.asa file ????

[Guest_imported]

Hi all, some of you may remember me, i have just bought and read the book, asp for dummies. What annoyes me about it, is not the fact that i read the book, but the fact that i bought the book...........!!!!
WHY???? well at the age of 7 i owned my very first computer, a bbc, then moved onto the spectrum, and the acorn electron, well i learned how to program them....... not bad at 7 years old, and i was creating complex programs when i was 10, gambling machines, card games, monopoly game, and others......
WELL WHY AM I ANNOYED ?
ASP IS THE SAME LANGUAGE, with slight changes, i have had the book now for 2 weeks, and considering when i started, i didnt understand the language, i can now program in pretty good, asp......i have already created several neet little programs, lol

OK I HAVE A QUESTION?????

the global.asa file, can contain information on anything that you need to do, now althought i have read the book, it does not cover the global asa file very well,
I am looking to create an accounting system using asp, as it is simple now that i understand the language, and i want to do everything through the global.asa file.
I know that this file is auto read and ran..
NOW if for instance i want to produce something on one page ie a customer list, which is produced by the global asa file, how do i get the information from one page to the other
Do i just ask for the basic variable or is their something different for example

GLOBAL.ASA

<%
dim test
test = 1
%>

TEST.ASP

<%
dim test1
test1= test
%>

would this work. or is their another way of doing it that i do not know of..... i am going to purchase an advanced book, but need help on this one for the time being..
if you can help i would be gratefull

Thanks in advance

Nope,
U have to use
Session(&quot;var name&quot is for user(local variables) time variables each for everry user who get in your web
Application(&quot;var name&quot is for server time variables
for every user witch get in your web
GLOBAL.ASA

<%
'user enter in anny page
sub Session_OnLoad
set Session(&quot;test&quot=1
en sub

'user exit from your web (site)
sub Session_OnUnload
set Session(&quot;test&quot=nothing
end sub
%>

TEST.ASP

<%
dim test1
test1= Session(&quot;test&quot
%>
