Use asp to trigger a 2nd asp???

[yabba]

I want to use a asp page to trigger a 2nd asp file. and return immediately.

#2 does not have any user interface, it simply manipulates some data and
writes a report to a log.

I want #2 to run in the background while I continue with other operations.

Any ideas how to do this?

TIA

You cannot do this serverside, I think, without ending that second page.

You will have to do that with clientside code.

From the server side, I think no way.
because you want #2 to run in the background while
you continue with other operations.

but from the clientside, before submitting, you can open a
little popup and make it call the second ASP

If you want to run it in the background only, then you should be okay with
changing it from a .asp file to a .vbs/.js file. Then you can use the
method described here to execute it in the background without having to wait
for it to complete. http://www.aspfree.com/articles/644,1/articles.aspx

Place the following code in an ASP file and include on all pages.

Just do this to make a call to page 2.
ProcessUrl "http://server/page2.asp?VAR1=??&VAR2=??

<SCRIPT language="vbscript" runat="server">
Public Sub ProcessUrl(strUrlAddress)
On Error Resume Next
Set objXMLHTTP = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
objXMLHTTP.open "GET",strUrlAddress, True
objXMLHTTP.send
Set objXMLHTTP = Nothing
End Sub
</SCRIPT>
