Does anyone know how to extend the session timeout variable to a really long time?
I don't want the application kicking the user out so early after being idle.
Thanks,
Simon

Usually set on your web server. For IIS it is set through the management console. ASP has also a script timeout. It can be set at the console but also on each individual page. Neither overide the inactivity timeouts imposed by ISP's or "Power saver" features of a client connection. If there is a timout err given it should say 'session' or 'script' is timing out. If you're not IIS/asp...someone else will pick this up I'm sure.

I'm using a Windows 2000 server with IIS5.
I have permissions to all server areas so if this is a server setting, no probs there.
I'm going to check the server settings as mentioned but any other ideas would really help.
Thanks...

Simon,
if you use ASP try following code in Page Open event:
session.TimeOut = 1000

If you use ASP:
You can use Session.Timeout = xx where xx represents the idle time in minutes
example:
Session.Timeout = 30
