Why is my Response.Redirect not working after a Response.Flush
I've got a script that sends a pdf to the browser for download, and then should re-direct the user to my home page.
The pdf downloads correctly but the re-direct isnt working, what am I doing wrong?

Const adTypeBinary = 1
Dim objStream
Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB
objStream.Open
objStream.Type = adTypeBinary
objStream.LoadFromFile Server.MapPath("..\..\") & "\data\downloads\Profile.p
Response.Buffer = True
Response.Clear
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=Profile.pdf"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Length", objStream.Size
Response.Charset = "UTF-8"
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
Response.BinaryWrite objStream.Read
Response.Flush
objStream.Close
rsDocs.Close
Set objStream = Nothing
Response.Redirect("/home.a

One way around this is to spawn an extra window for the stream and then to redirect the original window.

By spawn an extra window do you mean using a pop up window?
Would this be done using JavaScript in the html once the page has loaded?
How would I do that?

Sorry, no offence, your answer was quite right!
I'm still quite new to all of this, is there any way I can change it?
