Hi

I have a few pages that are only available to members and therefore have a "restrict access to page" behaviour on them using username, password and access group.
If a non-member (or non logged in) member tries to access them they are redirected to a page that tells them to either join or login.. all works well .. but
If they do successfully access these pages and stay on one page for quite a while then the session times out and they are no longer logged in, so then if they try to access another restricted page they are given the same redirect.
Can I put something like this on the page they are redirected to to redirect yet again to a page that informs them they have timed out and need to log in again?

If Request.servervariables("HTTP_Referer" = www.domain.co.uk/restricted_page.asp then response.redirect("timedout.asp"

Thanks

Dave

Not a n answer to your question, but might be useful, if the default timeout is too short on your web server you can change the default:

<%
Session("Whatever" = "Something"
Session.Timeout = 20 ' Time out after 20 minutes
%>

Owen.
