There isn't a way to do what you want it to do AFAIK. The cookies use a UNIX timestamp (seconds since 1970) and there isn't a way to do both AFAIK. You might be able to code around it. Set a cookie that expires when the browser exits. Then have your 20 minute timed cookie. Do a check - if the exit set cookie is not there and the 20 minute one is then you know they closed their browser and are now trying to come back. If both are there they are good to go. If the 20 minute one is gone and the exit set cookie isn't then you know their session has expired. I see what you are trying to do now - the above is something I thought of off the top of my head - hope it helps! --Joe > > Thanks everybody, > > scott. > > > "Joe Stump" <joe@earth.care2.com> wrote in message > news:20001005174105.B10332@zorka.com... > > On Thu, Oct 05, 2000 at 07:32:24PM -0500, Dean Hall wrote: > > > RTM.
