Ending Session Variables

Hi suzi,
Did you know that you can set a limit to when your sessions will timeout? Not sure if that will help you with this problem but it might... All you would have to do after defining how long you want your session to last do an if statement saying that if that amount of time has been surpassed to do a redirect to another page to log back in!
Here's some example code to define how long your sessions last!
<html>
<body>
<%
response.write("<p>"
response.write("Default Timeout is: " & Session.Timeout & " minutes."
response.write("</p>"
Session.Timeout=30
response.write("<p>"
response.write("Timeout is now: " & Session.Timeout & " minutes."
response.write("</p>"
%>
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps! Candie ;o)

Hi
If you combine this with the increase in session timeout as Candie so elegantly described you are on to a winner

Code:
<%
If session("yourvariable")="" then response.redirect("pleaseloginagainpage.asp"
