global.asa

What is the global.asa file. Is it necessary? Is it
recreated (when its needed) if I delete it. The reason
for these questions is that I had a database connection
producing the results I wanted, and after making a few
changes to the results side, I keep getting no records
returned - almost like its looking at the wrong
connection or something. I suspect that the global.asa
file may be causing my problem. Am I wrong about this.

TIA

This article explains what a global.asa file is:
http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_globalasa.asp

If you delete it, you can recreate it by reimporting your database into your
web.

What kind of changes did you make to the results side? If you made changes
to your .asp pages, it shouldn't affect the global.asa. If you made changes
to the database in your web, the global.asa may no longer work with your
database.
