Because of the default 20 minute timeout

So increase it...


I don't come to forums but as a last resort after trying everything
within reason including what you said to do to no avail.

What do you mean by "no avail"? You are not able to change the default? Or
you are not able to set the timeout high enough?


Good question. I mean that what I have tried so far has not had any effect
on anything, as if my changes were completely ignored. I'll speak to my
boss - He's a programmer too, Im going to foreward your message to him.

Thanks kindly!

Too much of this thread has been snipped for me to remember for sure, but
I think you are using ASP.NET membership, right? If so, there are methods
of making the authentication cookie permanent (no expiration), which would
keep users "logged in" indefinitely. In fact, there is "Remember Me"
functionality built in to the standard Login control that does just that.

Someone alluded to session timeouts, but considering your situation you
really shouldn't be using sessions at all. Sessions can be lost in a
variety of ways, not just as a result of a timeout.
