Hi, how do I edit this code so It will redirect within whatever second I set it to?

<%
session.abandon
response.redirect("/login_form.asp")
%>

not possible with serverside... you can place this inside <head></head>:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3;URL=/login_form.asp">

Put a timer function...

'****************************************
'** Loop for X Seconds ; **
'****************************************

Dim intPauseSeconds 'Holds the Number of Seconds to elapse
'Declare the Timers
Dim tmrStartTime
Dim tmrEndTime
Dim tmrRunTime

Public Function funcWaitForTime(intPauseSeconds)
' This Function loops for the number of seconds specified in the strPauseSeconds variable
' The Time() function returns the number of seconds that have elapsed since midnight.
' It is not precise.

tmrRunTime = 0
tmrStartTime = Timer()
tmrEndTime = Timer()

Do while tmrRunTime < intPauseSeconds
   tmrEndTime = Timer()
      'The If statement handles any date change while the loop is executing
      If tmrStartTime > tmrEndTime Then
          tmrEndTime = tmrEndTime + 86400
      end If
    tmrRunTime = tmrEndTime - tmrStartTime
Loop
End Function

funcWaitForTime(5)
session.abandon
response.redirect("/login_forum.asp")
%>

looks like it uses a lot of CPU cycles

Yup, but the http refresh does as well although in that case the loop is handled by iis, not by the app so it's more efficient but not great. x86 architectures just don't handle time that well although x86 *nix os's manage to work around it much better than ms.
