No. "End" does what it says it does ...

Try :

Response.Write "Hello"
Response.End
Response.Write "World !"

Try :

Response.Write "Hello"
Response.End
Response.Write "World !"

To be fair to the OP, it seems reasonable to assume that once you call the
End method of the Response object, the Write method of the same should no
longer be available. So, perhaps this is not the best example with which to
test this principle.

It seems less reasonable to assume that the rest of the process ends also,
by my reckoning. Is it obvious, for example, whether the Nothing assignment
happens here?

Response.Redirect myURL
Set cn = Nothing

The MS documentation says nothing about the process scope -- it only
describes what is sent to the browser:

Of course, if you can get to the Response.Redirect documentation, you can
get to that of Response.End, so this point is somewhat moot. But even to
someone with the intuitive understanding that Response.Redirect sends an
HTTP 302 header, it is not patently clear that the *process* stops when the
Response Object stops doing stuff.

Good point then use whatever would have a "visible" effect (writing in a
trace file ?).

My original unexplicit point was that it seems the kind of question that is
quite easily answered by yourself - apparently not easily enough for me
though, shooting myself in the foot ;-)

That's the kind of thing I was thinking.

Of course, it would be an academic exercise, having resolved the question by
reading the documentation.
