I've heard the Session_OnEnd is problematic. Have you seen any problems 
with this subroutine? I was hoping to stay away from the global.asa file, 
guess I have to start using it now. Sigh.


The Session_OnEnd should be accurate within a 20 minute time frame depending
on how users end their session on your site. If they leave via a hyperlink
(which is often the case) the session will remain open until it actually
times out on the server. If they just shut down the browser the session
should end immediately (or is it the other way around ??)

At any rate, it seems to have always been accurate (enough) for me. I only
use it to show people how many people are surfing the site at the same time.
Which can be bad for webmaster moral if it always reports 1 user :)

Perhaps there is a better method.. the global.asa is the only one i know of.
