Thanks for the info ...all I want to have happen is to move to another page
.. I don't care about anything on/from the login page ... we did our
error-checking, we validated, set our cookies ... we're done there, let's
move on ;) .. so, I'll use response.redirect as I really DO want to load a
new page.

I can anticipate wanting to use server.transfer for other things tho .. just
not this.

Thanks again,

Mich
