Hi there!
Is it possible to abandon the session using the SessionID?
Since Session_onEnd event is not firing all times, I just want to know how can I abandon the session atleast manually.
Please help.

Session.abandon
Hi monte96!
thanks for the reply. If the user logout through the LOGOUT.ASP page, then I can call the session.abandon method. No problem with this approach.
If the user closes the browser(without logging out), then session timeout after 20 mins. But the problem is session_onEnd event doesn't fire always. So some of the sessions are not anandoned/expired. This is the problem, because I am setting the user's login status to true in the database when the user login. I am setting the status back to false in Logout page as well as in the Session_onEnd event. So if the Session_onEnd event doesn't fire (after 20 mins - because the user has closed the browser without logging out), then the user can never login to my site, because his status is true in the database. This I am checking in order to prevent multiple login of the same user.
Please help me.
jeba,
Have you tried redirecting to the logout page in the UNLOAD event?
<body ONUNLOAD = "window.location = 'logout.asp';">
Not sure if it will work but it's worth a shot.

What you will probably end up having to do, is create an COM component with a timer that you create in the session and have it do the tracking for you. Basically, you'd have a keepalive method that must be called on each page or (have it time out after a shorter time than the session does) it starts counting down. I'm sure there's a MSDN article on why the onend event is not firing..
