hi

How do i restrict access to a page when it is not coming from certain URL.

For Example, i have 2 pages namely A and B page. I want to make sure that users must go through A first then B, and yet cannot access B directly.

thanks

Not sure about this but you might be able to do something with the server variable HTTP_REFERER.

On page B have something like
<%
If Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"<> "mydomain.com/pageA"
Then Response.Redirect("mydomain.com/errorpage")
Else
%>
