When is that ?

The answer was in my original post. Look for the word "restart".



I am not working locally with IIS, but writing global.asa to
my website. So does it not get read because the application
is active ?

It does not get *parsed* because you do not have an application.



(In fact, I don't really know what the application is.)

Then read my post again. Figure it out on your local IIS instance if you
need.



I thought I was only trying to execute stuff on session start,
not on application start

You asked when Global.asa is "called". I can't make the facts fit your
question for you. Global.asa is parsed when the application starts. If you
put a session start handler into it, then that event (the creation of a new
session) will fire the handler when the session starts.



So can you tell me:
What is meant by an application?

It is a sub-tree of an IIS website that has been configured as an
application.



So every time I write a new version of global.asa to my website,
the application should restart and global.asa get parsed

But nothing seems to happen

Then your Global.asa is not in the root of an application. It could not be
more clear.
