Close child - refresh parent

[Nate]

Once I log into the app via the login.asp I am redirected to main.asp. I pass
two variables to main.asp, var1 and var2 in the URL so that the correct data
is retrieved and the main.asp is built correctly.

In main.asp a link will open a child window. Some data is processed in the
child window. I then want to close the child and refresh the parent. However,
when I refresh the parent I need to use the original values that were passed
in the URL. I have access to them in the child asp but do not know how to
pass them back to the parent so that it will refresh with the correct values.

If I use JS window.opener.RefreshParent() the parent asp refreshes but the
variables in the URL have disappeared.

Can anyone help?

TIA
Nate

Can you use Session variables? [Session("Var1"); Session("Var2") and
Session("Child_Has_Run")]
