Refresh after Redirect

[JrClown]

Hello all,
How can I make a main page auto refresh after a redirect??
Here's what I have:
User fills a form out, submits. Data then is entered into Access DB. If user clicked on specific fields in the form, he\she get's redirected to a "MainPage.asp" displaying the results of those fields. With me so far?
How do I make the MainPage.asp autorefresh?? right now, the user has to refresh the page to view what he\she filled out.

I'm using this simple syntax
<%
response.redirect &quot;MainPage.asp&quot;
%>

why not pass along a variable in the autodirect, say

Response.redirect &quot;mainpage.asp?refresh=true&quot;

then use the ASP page to pase for the variable. I'm not sure if you needed the mainpage.asp to refresh, or if you spawned another window holding mainpage.asp. At any rate, if you need mainPage.asp to refresh, then do a simple conditional.

if Cbool(Request.QueryString(&quot;refresh&quot) then
Response.redirect(&quot;mainpage.asp?refresh=false&quot
end if

If you need the parent window to refresh, then just stick the variable into somme javascript, and use some of javascripts window control methods to refresh it. I'm sorry that I don't know it off the top of my head, but this should get you thinking in the right direction.

hope i helped.
