Page Expiration

Insert a no-cache meta tag to your header

<meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache"></meta>

Can anyone give me some pointers?

In an aspx page, I want to make it so a user cannot access a certain page where some data has been entered in a form a second time by using the browser's back button so duplicate submissions are not accidentally written to the db. I have it so that when a new instance of the form in invoked in the page all the fields are cleared of their view state information, but I can't seem to control it when it is recalled from the back button.

Can anyone give me some guidance with this, please.

Try put this in your page_load sub

Response.Expires = 60
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = CDate("07/29/1977")
Response.AddHeader("pragma", "no-cache")
Response.AddHeader("cache-control", "private")
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"

Yeah, that's what I thought too. But it didn't work. I didn't have a closing meta tag so I thought that would make a difference, but it didn't. It just doesn't seem to do the trick. I thought .NET might hav some special way. Oh well. I have bigger fish to fry today. I will worry about it tomorrow. Thanks, Bruce, for responding.
