Hi,
I know this question has been asked many times, but ater reading all the articles, I'm still confused how to do it.
I'm aware this can be placed on each page to redirect user to timeout page
if Session ("test") = "" then
Response.Redirect ("timeout.asp")
end if
However, I'm not sure where to put the session variable. I heard it should be placed in global.asa. But how?
Qn1: How do I create Global.asa? Using notepad? Dreamweaver? Where to put this file?
Qn 2: Is there any simpler way to achieve this without adding global.asp? I appreciate the simplest solution.
Pls let me know step by step. I'm still considered a novice in ASP.

Thanks. I have cut and paste your codes into global.asa n placed them in my root directory.
I also tried to show the session "start" and "visitorID" in my main page after loggin in, but it is not showing. Why? It seems to me global.asa is not being read by my application. Wrong directory?
Another qn:
If I want to use <% Session.Timeout = 1 %> (1 min for testing purposes) , where do I place this code? Global.asa or another .asp file?
if u have already saved my global.asa in root then remove that file or change my one/two.asp code to :
one.asp
<%
Session("SessionName") = "MySessionValueHere"
'Session.Timeout = 1
%>
<a href=two.asp>Next page</a>
two.asp
<%
If Session("SessionName") = "" Then
Response.Redirect "Timeout.asp"
ELSE
response.write "Session Value is : " & Session("SessionName")
End If
%>

Global.asa
open up notepad and save it as "Global.asa" in notepade use double quote (") to save asa or asp file otherwise windows will save it as Global.asa.txt
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScript RUNAT=Server>
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("visits") = 0
Application("Active") = 0
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart
Session("Start") = Now ' here is the name of session
Application.lock
Application("visits") = Application("visits") + 1
intTotal_visitors = Application("visits")
Application.unlock
Session("VisitorID") = intTotal_visitors
Application.lock
