Hello!

We have users who will enter data, then leave their machine for several hours, and come back and expect the application to hold their data even though the session has long timed out. They're used to using a Microsoft Access appliction and not the web.

How can I look and see if there's a minute or two left on a session, then call the "SAVE" routine so if the user does come back after several hours, their data is already saved?

I've looked at doing pop-up warnings, but if they have another browser or application up, Excel or Word, then the pop-up is underneath all these and never seen.

Thanks!
