Thanks for that snippet of code, I didn't know I could do that. 

That was not my problem. My problem was that I continue to be the dumbest 
guy on this list. I figured out what I was missing.

Thank you all for tolerating me.

I have created a web user interface for out IT Help. The users submit 
requests to a DB via a form. IT can view the DB through the web interface 
and update records. IT is sent to a confirm page when a record is updated 
that shows the update info. I have a link that takes them back to the 
specific record in the interface.

The problem is that the record is not updated in the interface. It's 
updated in the DB - I checked. 

My link to get back is   

Response.Write "<a href=IThelpDB.asp?varID=" & Request.Form("ID") _
& ">Return to IT Help Interface</a>" 

I thought this would pull the updated info. What am I missing?

You probably need some code to send the necessary HTTP headers to the client
to prevent the client browser from "caching" the webpage. If the browser
caches the webpage it is going to reload the previously downloaded copy from
the browser cache rather than get a new copy from the server.

<%
Sub SetHeaders( _
    )

    Response.ExpiresAbsolute = #1/1/1980#
    Response.AddHeader "pragma", "no-cache"
    Response.AddHeader "cache-control", "private, no-cache, must-revalidate"
    ' Add any other HTTP headers here

End Sub
%>

Cheers
