Server.transfer problems

[crystalized]

I am having a good deal of trouble with the server.transfer method.&nbsp;&nbsp;The method seems to be failing very regularly.<br><br>I am not really sure that server.transfer is what I should be using.&nbsp;&nbsp;I want to complete a series of actions within my asp code then automatically send the user to the next page.&nbsp;&nbsp;The actions I am performing are through server side script.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Here is the error message<br>Error Type:<br>Server object, ASP 0230 (0x80004005)<br>The call to Server.Transfer failed while loading the page.<br>/NetworkForms/Forms/General/incCommonFns.asp, line 238<br><br>If anyone has any information or a location where I can find more information I would appreciate it.<br> <p>Crystal<br><a href=mailto:crystals@genesis.sk.ca>crystals@genesis.sk.ca</a><br><a href= > </a><br>--------------------------------------------------<br>

are you refering to redirecting, if so use Response.Redirect &quot;URL&quot; , also in order to use Redirect Response.Buffer must be true, and you must not have sent anyu data(or flushed any data) back to the user prior to the redirection, or you will get an error. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

I am using it to redirect to another page, I have recently read an article that makes me believe it is better to use for my purposes than the response.redirect. <br><br>I will give the redirect a try though.<br><br>I do have my response.buffer=true at the top of each of my pages.&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to clear things out before redirecting or transfering should I be clearing the buffer?<br><br>for example<br>Response.clear<br>Server.transfer(&quot;someurl&quot <p>Crystal<br><a href=mailto:crystals@genesis.sk.ca>crystals@genesis.sk.ca</a><br><a href= > </a><br>--------------------------------------------------<br>

no, you just have to make sure no data is sent to the client prior to the redirection, so buffering make sure this doesnt happen, then when you want to send data to the client(if you didnt redirect) you use response.flush, and it'll flush the page currently proccessed in the buffer back to the client. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

I am now getting an error in the lines of code that are supposed to make my pages expire.<br><br>Response object error 'ASP 0156 : 80004005' <br><br>Header Error <br><br>/NetworkForms/Forms/General/incCommonFns.asp, line 272 <br><br>The HTTP headers are already written to the client browser. Any HTTP header modifications must be made before writing page content. <br><br>I was following the advice from another forum suggestion and I have included the following lines in my include file<br><br>Response.CacheControl = &quot;no-cache&quot;<br>Response.AddHeader &quot;Pragma&quot;,&quot;no-cache&quot;<br>Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now()- 1000<br>Response.Expires = 0<br><br>These lines were not causing a problem, for quite some time, now however I am getting errors on them.&nbsp;&nbsp;I moved them to another location in the include file (to the end).&nbsp;&nbsp;As I thought they might be causing my server.transfer to fail.&nbsp;&nbsp;Now they give me the error I pasted in above.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am sure I do not understand the Response object very well.&nbsp;&nbsp;If anyone knows a good article or book explaining it could you please let me know.<br> <p>Crystal<br><a href=mailto:crystals@genesis.sk.ca>crystals@genesis.sk.ca</a><br><a href= > </a><br>--------------------------------------------------<br>

Now I am not having the same error.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Here is a related question.&nbsp;&nbsp;I was reading the microsoft article on Server.transfer and it mentions that the same session object is used if you use the server.transfer method.&nbsp;&nbsp;I assume that means that all the session variables maintain their values for the page transfered to.&nbsp;&nbsp;The next page I would think can also adjust the values in the session variables, and in turn have them maintained for the next page.<br><br>If I am wrong in thinking this could someone please let me know where the error in my thinking is.&nbsp;&nbsp;I would also like to know if the Response.redirect does the same thing<br><br> <p>Crystal<br><a href=mailto:crystals@genesis.sk.ca>crystals@genesis.sk.ca</a><br><a href= > </a><br>--------------------------------------------------<br>
