object tag and createobject

What is the difference between object tag and server.createobject.

[tomcat99]

Although they seem to have the same effect there is one difference: object tag "really" creates the object only when the first method/property of the object was accessed.
Server.CreateObject will immediately create the object.

Tomcat

Mr tomcat99 is exactly right
object tag "really" creates the object and initializes the memory only when the first method/property of the object was accessed.
Server.CreateObject will immediately create the object and initialize the memory.

when we create object using "object tag" then a atatic object is created and we can do this only in Global.asa, on the other hand Server's CreateObject method is used to create objects dynamically.

[Ashfaq Ahmad]

yes both awnsers r right.

object tag can only be created in global.asa file.
And Server.CreateObject can only be created in othere than global.asa file.

Object variables are created per session or per application basis depending on the choice u make in the tag. Server.CreateObject objects are created in the particular page
