Is there any way that I can prevent my session variables from timing out? A setting in the global.asa or whatever?
Thanks~no sessions are created by a user, once the first page is requested they are given a cookie the server allocates memory that has the key in the cookie with all the information that you store in the session. If it never timed out then memory would never be freed for new users.
You might need the application for things that need to be persisted.So is there no way to keep a site from timing out without placing a script on each page?No you can store things in Application variable. you can increase the timeout but that doesn't help much. if they are common things you should use the applicationcookies are your next option and storing your data in the database
