I am not sure what exactly is going on but with several versions if the very latest ASP pages (either the "stock" ones or the ones I have modified) if I try to log out by doing a rediredt to the login (after setting the EmailTo session to NULL) or backing out to another page, when I log back in, I get a blank page with a URL of authenticate.asp.  If I first got to another site like google or something, I can get back in normaly.  What am I missing?  I am going over the same things over and over and I am sure I am not seeing something simple.

Any Help here?

Geroge,

I too have put many hours into this but the time is paying off.  Also,  I do not call myself a programmer but I seem to do a lot of it.  Setting the session to NULL should work but has unpredictable results.  I guess that I don't see the Web pages as being a part of the SpamFilter server software and therefore have not put it in the catagory of a "bug".  I may be wrong, but I think it is totally a Browser / ASP / IIS thing. I am not using any of the provided authentacation code fom my "Admin" pages because it is incorporated into a "suite" of management stuff I have put together for my guys (and gals) to use them for remote management so they don't have to call me every 5 minutes when something barks for attention. I have added a "Log Off" link in my pages pointing to "logout.asp" as follows:

<%
 Session.Abandon
 Response.Redirect "/"
%>

Now, while this seem to work for my "Customer" pages, which are "stand alone", my "Admin Pages" which are more advanced, search by from, subject, phrases etc, they are in a "Frame Set" and for some reason, I THINK, the Browser doesn't know about that particular session (or perhaps the IIS server doesn't) and worse than just logging on without a user and password, it just seems to get horribly confused.

Since I seem to no longer have any problem with the pages my customers use, I am not going to place this very high on my "ToDo" list .... just on my "What the heck" list.

Roberto,
That is great news. Once you are sure the new build is stable go ahead and send it to me as a zip file. I block all exe files due to BugBear B. Send me the RegEx thingy for the funky html tags and I'll test it. I get lots of emails with them.

I agree with you on the importance of getting the product stable. I wish MS did the same thing instead of testing products on the general public while not calling them Beta's. :)

George, Roberto,

I too am willing to test the new build and as I stated in an earlier message, I don't put much priority on the web pages because at this point, I am not going to replace them with new ones.  I have too much into my pages now.  If you do update the ASP, can you anotate the canges so I can look at them?   George,  Since I added the code I showed you and also mada a minor change in the test performed to check for a valid session, I have not experienced the problem.  Unfortunately, I have very little feedback from the few customers the complained about it so only time will tell.

Dan,
I think I am going to wait and see what the beta brings. Since I am going on vacation next week I want to make sure everything is running smoothly before I go. I have had to modify the web pages everytime a new update comes out and have pretty much saved my cahges to a txt file so all I need to do is copy and paste bacgrounds and colors etc. As long as the code doesn't change too much, the cahnges are easy.
