Thanks for detailed info and tips, Dave.
I checked the registry...maximum is 88 MB, current size is only 17MB.
So that seems to not be an issue at this time. But I'll also check into
storing that info in a db for future work.
Concerning the locking...yes, I've got to get back in there and do that,
and will soon.
I keep wondering if this is somehow related to users...especially their
computers. One client was getting kicked out of the site management
area of their site after logging into the initial site management page and
then clicking a link to go to a specific function page. Once I lowered
their
cookie acceptance settings to accept all cookies, there were no problems.
This happened on two machines in that office. That makes me think it's
a user issue.
However, the fact that 3 separate clients have had similar problems for
about
the last week or two, leads me in the direction of a server issue...
Others accessing those same site management areas from different computers
have reported no problems....*sigh*
There has been one thing I have always enjoyed about computers...at least
they
were consistent...right or wrong, they were consistent. Now it seems like
they're
getting minds of their own and playing games...
