how are you getting to the second page? Just write the QueryString onto
the link, or in the redirect.

Hi AB,

I think this book is good cause the other is recognized as a good teacher.
I haven't read it though (I came from classic asp and read on the internet
the howto's)
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...104-3119301-4387951?v=glance&s=books&n=507846
Jesse Liberty also knows how to write a book :

The simplest way to solve your problem is to do a response.redirect to the
file you wish to push to your user.

Let me know if you have any more questions...

Cheers,
