Diane,
It sounds like you are tracking log on status via a boolean value in the database.
If I may suggest, keep track of their log on status in the session variable:
Session.Contents("logon") = "true"
this makes it a bit easier as the session automatically expires after a default time
of 20 minutes, or as soon as the user closes their browser, whichever comes first.
