Using namespace in virtual directory(sub-dir)

[schwank]

I have an application with a two virtual directories... one parent directory for anon access, and a sub directory set up as a virtual dir in IIS for purposes of Forms Authentication.

Only problem is, my SQL ConnString is stored as a global var in the global.asax file of the parent...

no matter what i seem to do, the subdirectory cannot find this string, even though it shows up in the Object Browser.

do I have to duplicate this info in the global.asax of the sub directory, or is there some way I can access the parent variables?

thanks.
