Problems Making a global variable...

[GDX]

In global.asa i put the following in Session_Onstart....


Sub Session_OnStart
Datasource ="Dsn=main;UID=vsuser;PWD=cat5500"
End Sub

And within the ASP Page i do <% Response.write (datasource) %> but nothing comes up

I know I am doing something thats seriously wrong but I have no clue. Can someone guide me?

umm, i think you have to access it via the session collection... maybe something like Session.Contents('datasource'); adam@aauser.com

Hi,
in session_Onstart use
session(&quot;Datasource&quot and try to access session(&quot;datasourse&quot from you page and you can access.

If you just use Datasourse, it will like a local variable

modify your code as follows

In global.asa

Sub Session_OnStart
session(&quot;Datasource&quot =&quot;Dsn=main;UID=vsuser;PWD=cat5500&quot;
End Sub

And within the ASP Page
<% Response.write (session(&quot;datasource&quot) %>
