HTML QueryString

I have a devex menu on the site I inherited with what I know is an issue but want verification

The link in the menu item is

NavigateUrl="~/SpecificSkillsChecklist.aspx?CategoryID=21&CategoryName=Gastroenterology/Endoscopy"

When clicked on it actually navigates to SpecificSkillsChecklist.aspx and the vb code looks at the querystring values.

SOMETIMES...
We get an error message on Form Post saying
"blah...blah...blah...Gastroenterology/ContactUs.aspx not found"

I think its trying (On form submit or postback) to do a redirect to the "Gastroenterology/" sub folder?

Before I tear this site apart...because it uses this kind of stuff everywhere...hard coded...

I just want some verification that I should go and get rid of all those forward slashes...or handle them somehow.

Tough to say without seeing what the source code is doing (or trying to do). When do the pages fail? Is there a specific pattern?

The Form is a large one and can take some time to fill in.

They seem to fail when there's an unusually long period between loading the form and submitting although I can't guarantee that.

I've increased the timeout periods to allow 30 minutes which is at least 15 minutes more than enough.

And the one thing about when it happens is that it is always between 1 and 3 am.

We don;t run any backups then nor reboots of our SQL server or Web Service

I've also checked with the hosting company and I've been assured there is no maintenance taking place unless we get notified first...which we haven't been.
