hiya All,we are having this funny problem on one of our win2003 hosting accounts.When a user logs in. The session times out almost immediately.We set the session with this script.<%user_login = request.form("username")session("user") = user_login%>but as you navigate the pages, it times out almost immediately (less than 1min). We are not using cookies at present, and not launched this particular site to the public, so it cant be a case of heavy traffic.I also checked the <%=session.timeout %> property, and its set to 30minutes.The funny thing, is that we have multiple accounts running on that server.We are talking with our provider, but no avail yet.Any advice on this ???

| Check your server event logs to see if IIS is restarting. It would restart all sessions on a given website, and I'm not clear if only one user is expiring from your post. If others on the same website are not expiring, that's a fish of a different kettle (or something like that). |

Thanks Guys for your advice, was a real nightmare. We had to incorporate cookies and query strings to keep the session alive. Hiya Sam, It wasnt IIS restarting.problem was from my hosting provider. They said they changed the account application pool, and its been ok since.  |

| If the application pool was cycling, that was the problem. You shouldn't need to incorporate cookies and query strings. |

| >> You shouldn't need to incorporate cookies and query strings.Ok,Well, We never actually use query strings, except this instance.But for scalability, we always incorporate cookies. |
