Global variables

[Jonathan Perkins]

How do i create global variables that keep their values
after the form is postback, (i.e. when a button is
clicked, etc.) Thank you very much.

Can you be more specific? If you are talking about global
variables, then the Application object can store variables
that are accessible within the whole application.

For instance, i would like to have four or five variables
than can be read and written to from my subs and
functions. The problem that i am having is that
everytime a button (asp:button) is clicked these
varaibles loose there values. When i try to only DIM the
variables, when Page.IsPostBack = False, the functions
can't initially see the variables and I recieve
compliation errors. Thank you
