Redirection question...

[Frank Side Burns]

I have a web page (let's call it main.aspx) that must only be accessible
thru another web page in my web application. Users should not be able to
browse directly to 'main.aspx'...they can only be redirected their from
another page on my site. How does one go about doing this?

Thanks for any help.

Not fool proof but;

Opt 1;

<%
If Session(Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")) <> True Then
Response.Redirect "theotherpage_URL"
End If
%>

Opt 2;

<%
If Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") <> "theotherpage_URL" then
Response.Redirect "theotherpage_URL"
End If
%>

Opt 3: Use cookies (again not fool proof but..... might work)

Thanks for the ideas. I went with the 'hidden variable' technique...works
fine.
