Very helpful response - unfortunately I still have the problem. Session
cookies are enabled in the browser (I use them successfully on other pages);
I have no "funny" characters in the local server name; Session State is
enabled in internet services manager and timeout is 20 min; I deleted the
website in IIS (v6) and recreated it. Ugh! It still does not fire
global.asa.

Below is a complete copy of my global.asa file, if that would help:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript RUNAT=Server>
'=======================================================================
Sub Application_OnStart

Application.Lock
Application("CurrentUsers") = 0
Application("test") = "Application"
Application.Unlock

End Sub
'=======================================================================
Sub Session_OnStart

Application("CurrentUsers") = Application("CurrentUsers") + 1

session("test") = "Session"

session("IDUser") = 0

'--- force all users to begin on home page ---
response.redirect "default.asp"
End Sub
'===========================================================================
====
Sub Session_OnEnd
Application("CurrentUsers") = Application("CurrentUsers") - 1
End Sub
'===========================================================================
====
Sub Application_OnEnd

End Sub
</SCRIPT>
