Borg, the return url does not work for me.
Line 108'ish of "login_user_test.asp"

If strReturnURL = "" OR Instr(strReturnURL, "?") = 0 Then strReturnURL = "default.asp" & strQsSID1

prevents me from being able to use:



http://localhost/ohiopbx9/login_user.asp?returnURL=_mod_approve_field_reviews.asp

i put some code in the usertest to see what it is trying to do and this is what it looks like:

response.write(strReturnURL & "  " & Instr(strReturnURL, "?"))

'This is the normal code

If strReturnURL = "" OR Instr(strReturnURL, "?") = 0 Then strReturnURL = "default.asp" & strQsSID1

and this is what is printed out:

_mod_approve_field_reviews.asp 0

and the url resolves to:



http://localhost/ohiopbx9/login_user_test.asp?_mod_approve_field_reviews.asp

I have no idea why you are looking for ? but if i comment that line out it works perfectly, redirects me right to the page i need. Any insight?

There where a few issues with getting the correct return pages, so the system has been redone for the next release.

Ok, well i went ahead and removed

OR Instr(strReturnURL, "?")

and it works perfectly, what does that question mark do?

question mark isn't doing anything as such.

the code line above is is looking for a ? in the return url.
with asp to add variables to the end of a url you need a question mark after the url i.e www.webwiz.com/index.asp?variable=cheese

then i would say it should be an AND statement and maybe not an OR
