I've tried that, but it continually reloads the page. I only want it to reload once. Just the first time that the pages loads
Put this hidden field somehwre in the form.
<form name="form1" method="post" action="url">
<input type="hidden" value="0">
</form>
<%If Request.Form."FormCount" = 0 Then%>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3">
<%End If%>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="url">
<input type="hidden" value="0">
</form>
<%If Request.Form."FormCount" = 0 Then%>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="3">
<%End If%>

OnceThru = FALSE
IF request.form("flag"
<> "" then
OnceThru = TRUE
End IF
%>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myForm" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="flag" value="1">
</form>
</body>
</html>
<%IF NOT OnceThru Then%>
<script language="javascript">
document.forms[0].submit()

<%End IF%>
<%="Check the value of OnceThru --> " & OnceThru%>

OnceThru = FALSE

Another option would be to do this completely server-side. At the bottom of your page you could check a session variable, then if it isn't set, set it and use Server.Transfer to transfer back tothe same file and execute it all again:
-T
01000111 01101111 01110100 00100000 01000011 01101111 01100110 01100110 01100101 01100101 00111111

Code:
<%
'lots of code
'wheee
'more code
'bottom
If Session("reload_flag") <> "true" Then
Session("reload_flag") = "true"
Server.Transfer("thispage.asp")
Else
'second load, clear the var just to be kind to the RAM
Session.Remove("reload_flag")
End If-T
