This uses global.asa file

<script language=vbscript runat=server>
Sub Application_OnStart
Application(&quot;visitors&quot=0
End Sub

Sub Session_OnStart
Application.Lock
Application(&quot;visitors&quot=Application(&quot;visitors&quot+1
Application.Unlock
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd
Application.Lock
Application(&quot;visitors&quot=Application(&quot;visitors&quot-1
Application.Unlock
End Sub
</script>

And in any asp page you can do

Response.Write &quot;Visitor nr. &quot;& Application(&quot;visitors&quot

Where does this write the hits to? And how does one reset it??

You can store to a database or to a file. Database should be better.

<script language=vbscript runat=server>
Sub Application_OnStart
'open connection to database
set rs=con.Execute(&quot;select visitors from visitorsDB&quot
Application(&quot;visitors&quot=rs(&quot;visitors&quot
End Sub

Sub Application_OnEnd
'open connection to database
set rs=con.Execute(&quot;update visitorsDB set visitors=&quot;&Application(&quot;visitors&quot)
End Sub

Sub Session_OnStart
Application.Lock
Application(&quot;visitors&quot=Application(&quot;visitors&quot+1
Application.Unlock
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd
Application.Lock
Application(&quot;visitors&quot=Application(&quot;visitors&quot-1
Application.Unlock
End Sub
</script>

Session mofdify the Application(&quot;visitors&quot wich is a global variable. Application stores global variables.
It is initialized when web server starts and close down when it stops.
When it starts i get the old counter from database and when it end i'll store to it.
When a session starts(an user came to your web site) it will increase the visitor number and when it leaves it will decrease it.
