I have added a simple stored procedure into the Session_OnEnd of my global.asa ... which doesn't seem to be run when the webpage is closed.

I have run the SQL Profiler and the query isn't being run at all.

Could I be missing something?

The procedure has been tested in a normal page, so I know that it works.

Regards,

Sean Anderson

I think I have seen this question on the forum half a dozen times! In any event, the Session_OnEnd event does NOT fire when you close the browser, it is fired when the Session expires on the server.

The commented line of code in the global.asa is a little misleading then (Runs when a user's session times out or quits your application) as it implies it will run.

I guess that I will have to capture it from a function in the main page.

Well, yes and no. Both of the statements in the global.asa are true as the Session_OnEnd event will fire in both of those situations BUT, you need to remember, HTTP is a stateless protocol so when I click the close button in my browser, unless you have some form of code setup to notifiy the server that I am closing the window, the server has no idea that I have closed my browser.

To explicitly call Session_OnEnd (aka quitting an application) you can call Session.End or Session.Abandon and, of course, it is called after the user has been idle for X mins. (Where X is the timeout period of the session)

hth.
