In using vbscript, what's the syntax for pointing to the db connection
that's made in the global.asa? Do I use it like I would using a system dsn?

Normally I've used a system dsn and used:
rsName.ActiveConnection = "dsn=(dsnName)"

But I don't know how to use the global.asa connection info.

Thanks.

The global.asa file is just a script with different Application-level event
handlers in it. Usually, a Connection String is cached in the Application
Collection. So, either look for one there, or put one there.

Here's the Application_OnStart event in my global.asa that FP made when I
imported an Access db:

Sub Application_OnStart
'==FrontPage Generated - startspan==
Dim FrontPage_UrlVars(1)
'--Project Data Connection
Application("Hubbell_ConnectionString") = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};DBQ=URL=HubbellWeb_Data.mdb"
FrontPage_UrlVars(0) = "Hubbell_ConnectionString"
Application("Hubbell_ConnectionTimeout") = 15
Application("Hubbell_CommandTimeout") = 30
Application("Hubbell_CursorLocation") = 3
Application("Hubbell_RuntimeUserName") = ""
Application("Hubbell_RuntimePassword") = ""
'--
Application("FrontPage_UrlVars") = FrontPage_UrlVars
'==FrontPage Generated - endspan==
End Sub

Would "Hubbell_ConnectionString" be the Connection String?

If not, where is the Application Collection?

Thanks.

Dim Conn_Name
Conn_Name = Application("Hubbell_ConnectionString")
set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open Conn_Name

Yup. Any reference to Application("SomeString") is a reference to a member
added to the Application Collection. It can be used to get or to set that
member.
