hey all,
what do i have to do to make it where if my page is timed out to
automatically go back to login screen?

thanks,
rodchar

If a page times out because you have some long-running process going on,
there's not much you can do at that point. Your user would still be logged
in, why do you need to take them back to the login page? Better to refactor
in such a way that you run the process on a background thread rather than
tying up page processing.

OK, well if a user has left their desk and their Forms Authentication ticket
(cookie) has expired, then the next time they try to do something, they
should automatically be redirected to the login page since they are no longer
authenticated. All this stuff is set up in your web.config file.
