I peaked at the snitz code, and I noticed whenever an application variable gets defined or re-defined, Application.Lock and Application.Unlock are used. I also sorta copied the code in config.asp to re-define the variables if the admin changed something.
So, in admin_admin.asp for my new program, after updating the config table, I have:
Application.Lock
Application("t-configloaded") = "no"
Application.UnLock
And in the _top.asp file I have the following...
configloaded = Application("t-configloaded")
if configloaded = "no" or configloaded = "" or IsNull(Application("t-configloaded")) then
strsql = "SELECT SHOWBANNERS, APPROVESITES, SITESTOSHOW, BANNER1, BANNER2, BANNER3, BANNER4, BANNER5, SITEBANNERSTOSHOW FROM ADMIN"
set rs = t_conn.execute(strsql)
Application.Lock
Application("t-showbanners") = rs("SHOWBANNERS")
Application("t_sitebanners") = rs("SITEBANNERSTOSHOW")
Application("t-approvesites") = rs("APPROVESITES")
Application("t-sitestoshow") = rs("SITESTOSHOW")
Application("t-banner1") = rs("BANNER1")
Application("t-banner2") = rs("BANNER2")
Application("t-banner3") = rs("BANNER3")
Application("t-banner4") = rs("BANNER4")
Application("t-banner5") = rs("BANNER5")
Application("t-configloaded") = "yes"
configloaded = "yes"
Application.UnLock
set rs = nothing
end if
Then below that I define variables using the application variables, all dimmed of course.
but I'm experiencing the following flaw, the application variables arent getting re-loaded after I change things, and I'm sure I set Application("t-configloaded") = "no" in the file that changes them. Yet when I reload the page (I have response.expires = 0 and response.addHeader "pragma","no-cache" in the _top.asp) it still dosnt reload the variables.
Any Ideas?

Have you tried stopping and restarting the service on IIS?

Chances are that is what is causing it though. I don't know if there is a lot you can do short of talk to your host. Maybe someone else knows another way.
I do know that is what we have to do anytime we modify the application variables.

How long of a wait before the application variables get cleared from the server memory? (by restricting access to the pages that call the variables...)
The server is readyhosting, as far as I know there is no way to stop/restart IIS

Need Snitz installed professionally?

you could try using this command
Application.Contents.RemoveAll ()
But this does not work on all versions

hmm, I just thought of somthing. I'm not quite sure how app variables work, but I'm assuming they are just placed in the memory via there given name... So using Huwrs method would reset all the app variables on the server, including my forum (and other websites?) or just the app variables set for that virtual directory?

Application variables are shared by all of the web application.
If you make an explicit change to an application variable node, it should be immediately visible. If you need to clean out your application variables, use HuwR's code or restart the web.
