SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the HTMLA Administration Forms (Internet Services Manager HTML) in
Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0, ASP creates a session for the user.

Keeping session state on these pages may cause a problem if users allow the
session to time-out (the default time-out is 20 minutes). After the user's
session times-out, if they use the Back button on the browser, only a partial
view of the tree used to show the Web sites appears. In most instances, the user
is informed that the session has timed out (which is the proper message).

RESOLUTION
==========

In order to avoid this issue, reconnect to the HTMLA Administration forms and
try again. This will create a new session for the user.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Information
Services version 5.0.
