.... when user finally is logged in to the good page, you can put a code like this at top of that page.

When session dies, which it does after a while if the user is inactiv or by closing down the browser. The session lifetime can also be set. However if the user "session" is no longer valid then user cannot view the page. That is why you keep this session value in the first place.

If Session("valid") <> True Then
Response.Redirect"some_page_where_you_have_the_login_form.asp"
End If

Just for fun - check your session settings

<html>
<body>

<p>
The timeout for this session is
<%
Response.Write(Session.Timeout)
%>
minutes.
</p>

</body>
</html>
