Form to Insert a large amount of data in 1 go..

Thanks Baxter I will have a look into that..

Not knowing what language you are using?
With asp vbscript you could increase the session time out to something like
this,
<%
Session.Timeout = 240
%>
This should give you plenty of time for the session to time out and see if
that is what it is.
a normal session is around 20 min.

It is unlikely that the issue is related to the size of the form (unless it
is huge). If this is containing information that includes session variables
then it is likely that these have timed out. It could also be related to
invalid data entry such as non numeric characters.

Unless the person has changed their internet setting from the standard "Show
friendly URL errors" they are unlikely to get a very meaningful error
message.
