Application Variable in ASP

If the session dies, you should redirect the user accordingly. eg

if Session("EmployerID")="" then Response.Redirect "login.asp"

You can't really use application variables, as they are the same for
everybody not individual users.

Or you can change the timeout value of your session by adding

Session.Timeout = 60

to your code. Session value is in minutes so the above sets it to an hour.
.. and so on ..
