There isn't one on Application scope variables; they persist for the
lifetime of tha application, which you can shut down from the MMC or by
restarting the server....

(Session variables have a timeout, and the global.asa's Session_OnStart() is
called for each new session; the Application_OnStart() is ignored for those)

this makes me laugh everytime I read it...

> <%
> Application.Lock
> strOut = trim(Application("page1"))
> Application.Unlock

Note you don't need to Lock/Unlock when reading from an Application
variable, only when you set one outside the Application_OnStart() ....

cool?
