Global.asa does not fire after reboot until re-saved.

Hi Guys

I have been working with ASP for many years but have _never_ come across
this. Sure, I've had the global.asa not execute because of application
misconfiguration, but check this out...

Server (W2K3 R2) reboots, website comes back up, but no application
variables loaded.

What makes it even more bizarre is that the variables that are set in
Application_OnStart _are_ loaded, like the connection string, but others
that are loaded by calling other subroutines are not. For example, below
the SITE_ID and NODE_ID and Connection String variables are set and are
accessible on other ASP pages, however anything that is set via the
InitAppVars subroutine are not set (see below).

Rebooting the server makes no difference. Saving the global.asa causes the
application to load _all_ the variables again properly. How wierd is that?
Could it be something to do with application locking?

Thanks in advance

David
