Is there any other way to get the page where we came from? I'm trying to retrieve the URL of the page that could not be found (to place it somewhere on my custom error page. I'm using Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER") , but since the refered page was never opened (because was not found)... it is not working. Any ideas?

If you set your 404 page to a custom page the referring page is passed in the querystring.

Thanks... I've just realized this. The problem was that I was redirecting it to another file and didn't realize that the querystring already existed. I've fixed that already. Thanks for your help.
