>FYI, you can also use isObject(Session) to see if the Session Object still exists. Thanks for the info. I was afraid of that.

Another little trick you can use if you want to keep the session alive is to set up a frameset with the main frame taking 100% of the row/col, the other frame now hidden can issue a refresh every 10 minutes or so. We have used this with a series of pages using session collections to gather input. It's better than allowing a timout and having to restart the session or using the other option of passing the entered data from page to page.
