MY QUESTION ABOUT THIS IS ....... Is this just the pop-up window and does the javaScript go my already created pop-up window OR is this a new file I need to create ?

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function refreshParent() {
window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href;
if (window.opener.progressWindow)
window.opener.progressWindow.close();
window.close();
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="refreshParent()">
</body>

2. Put this file in the popup window as a redirect at your Insert/Update record SB
MY QUESTION HERE IS..........
How do I write this as a re-direct ?

Many applications I have created use the exact feature you require.
Here is the code that I always use:
onclick="opener.location='URL_Page_Name'"
This can obviously be changed to onUnload or anyother action.
From my main page, I open a popup and the have this script on either a close window hyperlink.
This code closes the popup and then rerfreshes the main window.
If your popup has an insert for example and you then go to a confirmation message, attach the behaviour to a close window link and this will again close the popup and refresh the main window.
