[stuart]

Hi, I have seen this on a site:

Obivously this is some sort of querystring manipulation going on behind

You could(!!!) do this by using a dedicated 404.asp, having:

=================
qstr = Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")
session("qstr")=qstr

if instr(qstr,":80/showdetails.asp/")>0 then
server.transfer "/myParsingDir/showdetails.asp"
end if
.......
=============

and in this real showdetails.asp
parsing the content of session("qstr")
