We have an asp based meeting room management system that appears to have a memory leak somewhere. As the application is made up of 1,000s of lines of code contained within up to 100 pages, what would be the best and easiest way to track down any leaks???

Are there any tools out there that would assist in such a mammoth task???

Thx

i would recommend making a list of all the objects that you created... then check for closing marks for each of the objects that you opened. Second, try putting Option Explicit at the beginning to make sure you're not creating any variables accidentally
