Green better than red. Less blurred. Fine. No parentheses also good. - EL -

Regarding redirecting old URLs... I'm not sure what error gets generated when trying to access an old board or message, but, for sake of argument, say it's a 404. All you need to do is write a few lines of code in the custom error file specified in the default web site properties (e.g. SI_404.htm) that parses and redirects to a new file. More specifically... First you chop off the error code (e.g. "404;") that precedes the URL passed to the custom error file. Then you append the variable to the updated URL. strOld_SI_URL = Mid(lcase(Request.Querystring),5) If Mid(strOld_SI_URL,1,55) = "http: //www.siliconinvestor. com/stocktalk/readmsg.aspx?msgid=" then strSI_ID = Mid(strOld_SI_URL,56) Response.Redirect "/readmsg.aspx?msgid=" & strSI_ID End If If Mid(strOld_SI_URL,1,63) = "http: //www.siliconinvestor. com/stocktalk/subject.aspx?subjectid=" then strSI_ID = Mid(strOld_SI_URL,64) Response.Redirect "/subject.aspx?subjectid=" & strSI_ID End If etc. - Jeff
