Is there any way to increase the "timeout" period please. If I an in the "add
new record" or "edit a record", start to add or amend data to a form, perhaps
leave it for a few minutes, then go back and try to add or amend data, I get
the sign on screen pop up again. I would like to extend the time before being
asked to sign on again. Thanks.
 
It is probably not your DB connection that is timing out, but your ASP session timeout
- by default (unless your host changed it) it is set to 20 Minutes in IIS
Ask them to increase it to 40 or 60 minutes

If they can't / won't try adding in top of your Edit pages
<% Session.Timeout = 40 %>
See http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/asp/quickref/session_timeout.html
