The ASP Application Object
The Application object is created when the first .asp page is requested after starting the IIS and remains there until the server shuts down. All the variables created with application object have application level scope meaning there by that they are accessible to all the users. All .asp pages in a virtual directory and its subdirectories come under the application scope. So application level variables are shared by more than one user at a time.
