Response.buffer=False

[mellenburg]

Can someone tell me what Response.buffer=False does? I'm running scripts that take several minutes to process so I'm assuming it has something to do with keeping the browser active.

The problem I'm having is when I have this statement on a form. When I submit information the first time, everything is fine. When I submit twice, I get the following error message:

Buffering cannot be turned off once it is already turned on.

I don't get the error if I remove the Response.buffer=False statement, and it only appears in the program once. If this statement is necessary, how do I get around the error that seems to appear when the statement is encountered a second time.

i beleive allows IIS to send any response to the browser while the server is processing your ASP script

Did you try putting that line at the very top of your script?

You can also just take it out and use a periodic Response.Flush to force the server to send the contents of the buffer to the browser.

Using response.flush did the trick. Thank you.
