Application_OnStart runs twice

IIS 6 on 2003 Server. Application_OnStart runs when the first page is accessed (as it should). The next page is a frameset with 3 frames (2 ASP, 1 HTML). One of the ASPs properly accesses the existing Application object, the other ASP causes Application_OnStart to run again. Any idea why this is happening / how to prevent it?

I am only encountering this on one server, which leads me to think it is related to IIS settings.

More info: The site is set up as a virtual directory. The frameset and content pages reside in a sub-directory (also virtual, but no separate application object defined).

-Thanks

How are you determining that Application_OnStart is executing twice?

IIS returns an error from global.asa instead of the expected frame contents. The error indicates a line within the Application_OnStart sub (an error is generated because the ASP is not in the root directory of the application). This suggests that Application_OnStart is running a second time.

I verified that it ran the first time by checking the values of Application variables that get initialized by Application_OnStart. I checked before accessing the frameset.

Hi Technoob,

I've had a similar issue while using Application OnStart, it was running the script twice.
However using Application Lock & Application Unlock seems to have fixed my issue.
Do let me know if you had another solution to this problem.
