Weird application variable results!!

Hello all,
I just installed the forum, and it's just amazing how complete it is.
There's something weird with my application variables.
Here's a part of my global asa, i use it to show the number of visitors etc.. (PS: It is not an ASP question)


Sub Session_OnStart

application.lock
application("activevisitors") = application("activevisitors") + 1
application.unlock
..........................................

Sub Session_OnEnd
application.lock
application("activevisitors")=application("activevisitors") - 1
application.unlock
End Sub

And guess what after installing the forum i have values like there is 30 active visitors while there's only one.

Anyone can guess the reason of that??
Thank's again

Anthony.

you must have a mis calculation somehwere

are you executing it right. also it maybe that there is an issue with the server and application veribles

try CLnting it all that may make a difference but not likly

Hello,
dpyers, what u said about AOL is interesting, however i was looking at my logs, there's no AOL logs at all.
I'm on shared hosting right now, am i sharing my application pool if so?

Thank you

dj air, i'm with hosteur.com which is a relatively good webhost for my student budget.
The weird thing is that i never noticed weird values until i installed the forum so i thought it was because of  the forum.
I will ask my webhost concerning my application pool.

Thanks a lot for all your help.
Best regards
Anthony
