LDAP -- okay, just a weird kind of database Shared Memory -- not for the faint of heart, but possibly the "right" solution for some kinds of things that one might use application variables in ASP for. But, really, a simple include file to define a bunch of constants or do something on every page is no big deal. Sure beats all the headaches and *OVERHEAD* of ASP's application variables.
