How do I get the calling page?

[wolfing1]

is there a way of getting the page that called the current page? Like,
I'd like to add a 'back' button that fills some info and then sends to
the previous page, which could be one of many pages that can call this
current page.
So, other than adding a form hidden field and passing it at submit or
whatnot, is there something like session('callingpage') or something
like that?

The best your going to get is the HTTP_REFERER property;

Response.Write Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER")

Note however, this is by no means practical as some clients choose to "hide" or block this information
