I have not upgraded to V8 yet but am intending to soon. I've read several references on this forum to servers appearing to drop Session data from memory. I think I'm currently having these problems with my site as it is using Session variables to control member access to certain pages. All users will intermittently be redirected back to the login screen at the same time. If my hunch is right I'll also have the same related issues after I upgrade to V8 of WWF. What questions should I be asking of my ISP to correct/check this issue? You are doing a fantastic job Borg  Cheers, |

If you site is dropping the ASP session it could be:- 1. An ASP application on your site is using session.abandon 2. The servers application pool is recycling to often 3. The servers application pool is setup as a web farm 4. You are using load balanced web servers 5. You are using a win2k3 server that is not patched correctly If your host can not fix this thn you can edit the file in web wiz forums called 'functions/functions_session_data.asp' and set it to use the database to store the users session. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Thanks boRg, session.abandon is used once on the Logout button on my site's CSS menu - this should only affect that specific user's session though? I am e-mailing my ISP now to ask about the other issues you have mentioned. Thanks. Cheers, |

You should try to avoid using session.abandon as it can course issues with all sessions on the server. You would be better off just destroying those session variables that you use by name rather than the session abandon method.
