Hi Guys, this must be very simple but I am struggling to figure it out. Please help.I have a page that when it loads, receives data from a SSL page on another server. In the background it collect the data and mails it to user and admin. That's what I want.
The problem: if the page gets refreshed the email is sent again. If page user presses the back button, then emails again.
I thought that when page loads I can check if there is a session, if there is nothing then sends email and creates a session. Then When page is refreshed I can check if there is session and not email again.
Any ideas as to how to do that, samples???? help please..... BTW: using classic ASP

This could be accomplished with the following sample code
<%
<i>'Check if Session is Initialized</i>
<b>If Not</b> Session("initsession" <b>Then</b>
Session("initsession" = True
<i>'Do your work:
'Collect the data and mails it to user and admin</i>
<b>End if</b>
%>
I hope this helps you.
