  Modify your Global.asax.vb file accordingly:

  Sub Application_BeginRequest(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
  		'  Build the Application Path
  		If Application("AppPath") = Nothing Then
  			Dim sAbsUri As String = Request.Url.AbsoluteUri
  			Dim sRawUrl As String = Request.RawUrl
  
  
  			If Request.ApplicationPath = "/" Then
  				Application("AppPath") = Left(sAbsUri, Len(sAbsUri) - Len(sRawUrl))
  			Else
  				Application("AppPath") = Left(sAbsUri, Len(sAbsUri) - Len(sRawUrl)) & Request.ApplicationPath
  			End If
  		End If
  
  
          End Sub

  Throughout your application, you may now use Application("AppPath") to get a reference to the root of your application.

  This is easily acheived by using the 'tilde' character ('~'). This char can be used when code is run on server, hence your redirect above should look like this:

  Response.Redirect("~/startPage.aspx")

  I would think you have a Virtual dir on you local machine named:

  '/Project' = 'http://localhost/project/' = 'http://localhost/project/startPage.aspx'
  

  When moving your solution to a production server, you will probably use a fully qualified domain name, hence an address like this:

  'http://www.foo.com/startPage.aspx'
  

  By using the tilde as directed, you will get the right resolution at all times.

  one more thing i forgot the function openNewWindow is

  <script type="text/javascript">
  	function openNewWindow(url)
  	{
  		newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=500,width=950,left=10,top=0,scrollbars=yes');
  		if(window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
  	
  
  	}
  	
  
  </script>

  Relative path can be used with the combination of ".." or "." with the web URL the page. Suppose you have following file hierarchy:

  default.aspx
      security/user.aspx
      data/entry.aspx

  And you are on the user.aspx and want you user to navigate to the default.aspx (or entry.aspx) file. Then you can use Respose.Redirect ("../default.aspx") Respose.Redirect ("../data/entry.aspx") Thanks

  hi wunderkinder, I have tried the above methods but i'm still facing the same problem. I have developed the web application and installed it on my computer. It works absolutely on my machine. My question is when I access this web application from another computer it works there too but sometime it behaves awkward. For example If I click on "button or link" which redirect to another page, SOMETIMES it redirected to the page and sometime it doesn't instead it shows the blank page with the message "The page cannot be displayed" Can anyone solve this problem? It’s really URGENT! Thanks

  Same here, my version of ASP .. 1.1 refuses to parse the ~ sign. So everything must be hard coded. I need to use the ~ in the HTML part of the page (not code), yet that part does not work.
