I use a timer in a web form to perform an event handler every 8 hours. After
about 16 hours I get a 404 error. I've set the session not to time out. Any
idea what is going on?

Thank you,

If your timer is part of the web form, the timer goes away when the webform
is garbage collected. You should either use a timer in the global file or
write a separate exe or service to handle the timing event.
