Re: Help!! RedirectFromLoginPage and GetRedirectUrl

Thanks so much for your response.

The problem is not getting to the login page. It is the redirecting back to
the original page they came from.

The RedirectFromLoginPage and GetRedirectUrl are supposed to, as a fellow
programmer put it, "automagically" redirect back to the page that took them
to the login page. As I understand it, from all the reading I've done, both
in books and on the Internet, he is entirely correct . . . however, for some
reason my machine seems to have a mind of its own and is not responding
correctly. (Of course, I blame it on my box, but we both know who's the
smarter of the two . . .guess I'm doing something dumb - I haven't found an
instance where anyone has had a problem with this.)

Can you give me another clue?

Again, thanks so much for your response! This is sooooo frustrating!
