It could be the path is wrong, or it could be that you are on an NT4 server as Server.Transfer is part of ASP3.0 and is only available from Win2k on.

I'm pretty sure Server.Transfer() doesnt allow parameters to be included in the url,

The below code should work, Is Tid a part of the query string?
<%
'a lot of code is here
Server.Transfer("/../content/startpagina.asp")
'a lot of code is here to
%>

Server.Transfer does work with QueryStrings. If I remember correctly loose the leading slash (/)

wow, i love when people try to use a function/sub and have absolutely no idea how it works or what it does

Server.Transfer("/../content/startpagina.asp")

is flawed in that you tell it to "Start at Root" (the blue slash), then "Go up a directory" (the green dots), then look for your file

well, you cannot go higher than root, its not within scope of the web server

and btw, when you trasnfer to another page:

Request.QueryString
Request.Form

is available as well, but you don't "feed" them through the call to the transfer
