You will need to use javascript. Create a function in the <script> tags in the <HEAD> tags in your HTML of the page(pop up page). Call
window.opener.location = 'your page.aspx'
self.close;
return false;
This should cause the calling page to be reloaded. If not, try asking the JavaScrip forum.

Jim - one point - would it be best to open a child window to send/retrieve variables? In your approach I think perhaps calling the aspx page can be carried out carrying a return QueryString and so should work fine (haven't tested it). I have seen in a few cases where pop-up windows are opened using the following approach:
Just thought I'd throw this up..of course this could be quickly answered over at the Javascript forum -
Code:
function GetDate(CtrlName, SampleDate){
ChildWindow = window.open('qwwCalendar.aspx?FormName=' + document.forms[0].name + '&CtrlName=' + CtrlName + '&SampleDate=' + SampleDate, "PopUpCalendar", "width=270,height=300,top=200,left=200,toolbars=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,resizable=no");

jbpr: The technique I have used in this scenario is that I send the new variables back from the pop-up and populate hidden textboxes and then on reload the Datagrid picks up the new SQL parameters there. I can give you my approach in its totality if you'd like.

jbpr: You can probably use either approach regarding opening the pop-up. Here's what I would do on this (which is only 1 way and perhaps not the best but it works).
Using the code above I open up the pop-up window; in the above case its a calendar but could be any form taking in variables.
The code for the pop-up (I'll leave the calendar stuff in just for completeness) is as follows (the aspx page):
Now, when the button is clicked on the popup I send back the variables to the parent window. Note that the code above (java) causes the parent form to submit. As you can see the variables are first saved to textboxes on the parent form (you can set style="display:hidden"; also, frmChemHist is the name of the form on the parent page) and then in the DataGrid on DataBind I just use the text values in the SQL generating the DataGrid after postback. At the FAQ page here there is a list of options for picking up textbox values from a DataGrid. Let me know how things are going on this; we'll get it figured out.
