I'm not sure what it is called, whether it is "buffer" or not. Please bear with me :)

I have a page that opens another window, where users are given a "toolbox" to choose some options. After they choose their options, I want the opened window to close, and the opener to reload. Trouble is, when the opener reloads, the browser submits the form on the opener again, and I get a duplicate record. Is there a way to clear our this form information so that it doesn't do that?

thanks for the tip, Dave. I tried that, but it didn't work. I did, however, have an epiphany while I was going to bed last night... Instead of clearing the form, I simply used opener.location = "admin.asp", effectively reloading the page, but not resubmitting the form.

Thanks!
