[thelist] Can I do this in ASP?

[David at softv.net]

You can if you set Response.Redirect = True at the top of the page after
Option Explicit (if on IIS 4.0).
If on IIS 5.0 buffering is set to true by default.

You cannot do a Response.Redirect if you've written anything to the browser.
The reason for this is that the Response.Redirect is managed by an HTTP
header sent to the browser, and you all of the headers have to be sent
first, before any actual HTML can be.
