I recall a member mentioning the use of http_referer to establish where a
visitor to a page had come from? I have been using a combination of Session
variables and DB checking to ensure that a visitor is genuine.
Can anyone help me with how to use http_referer to ensure a visitor has
come from the expected page

MS IE only sends the reffer in the header
over a secure connection (SSL).

If Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_Referer") = "correctpreviouspage.asp" then
' write the page
else
response.redirect("youdidnotcomefromtherightpage.asp")
end if
Cheers
