How can I clear the application variables?
Here is the code...
Also, how can make this use session variables instead of application?
<%
Dim convo
convo = Application("conversation")
If Len(convo) > 2000 Then
convo = Left(convo, 2000)
Application.Lock
Application("conversation") = convo
Application.Unlock
End If
Response.Write convo

Answer 1:

Application.Lock
Application("conversation")=""
Application.Unlock

Answer2:

You can't use session variables for a chat app because session variables are not shared throughout your site.
