OK, again not knowing *anything* about ASP -- the above sounds like
the reporting loop is examining a *copy* of the session variable
that was created when the reporting process initialized; it needs
to examine the actual current state.

Alternatively, does ASP have any concept of an Listener? Wrap your
reporting code in a class that implements a Listener that'll pass
an interrupt event to the loop when it occurs?

Afraid that's about as much as I can suggest :-/
