How can I display an alert in the users browser window from an asp page.
For example, a welcome message. I know I can do this with response.write,
but I'd like to have a general method of displaying messages to the user.
Thanks a lot all.

Your clientside vbscript, if it works, then only on IE.
Try:

Thanks Evertjan and Tim. I got no alert nor did I get any error message.
Here is a code fragment that I am using. Perhaps your keen eyes will see
where this little fool is messing up:
If UCase(strStatus) = "PENDING" Then
strMSG = "You must complete the following form!"
%>
<script type='text/javascript'>
alert('<% = strMSG %>');
</script>
<%
Response.redirect ("Acct_Profileedit.asp?ACCT_NO='" & strAcctNo &"'")

If you do a redirect, no clientside code is executed,
as the redirect command goes to the html header.

Perhaps some learing about the difference of

Thanks Evertjan. I already tried the response.end.
Also, I left out the asp tags (<%) to avoid confusion. All the correct tags
are in place and my existing code works.
I was simply trying to show where I had placed your suggested code.

As others have said, any client side script will not execute with a
redirect.
Additionally, I hope that you are keeping the values that have already
been filled out when the user gets the form again. There is nothing
worse than filling out a long form, omitting one thing, and the script
comes back with all the previously filled fields blank. This is one of
the reasons I prefer to post to the same page.

Stop being usenet police. Of all the articles I've read on top vs bottom
posting, yes, bottom posting is preferred. But it's user choice, and many
many people prefer top posting. Personally I've changed from top to bottom,
but not because of rude requests like yours. I prefer top.
YOU get a decent news reader that supports threaded discussions! Granted,
web based readers don't view top postings well. I know all this.
Ok, here comes. "this isn't email..blah blah blah". Take a chill pill. But
notice I bottom posted.

No it is logical Netiquesste, because not all news servers aquire
postings in a reasonable time, or keep them long enough to support
threading.

Absolutely correct.
After many years of this sort of thing, I'd say that about 40% of people who
top-post do it out of sheer laziness or inability to configure their
newsreader properly, 40% do so out of total ignorance of netiquette, and the
remaining 20% do so because it makes them feel "hard", like a bit of a rebel

I've re-read every post here and I have to say, some of you people are
complete and utter jerks.
With scarce interposting, that would not have been necessary, you
probably would not have lost track of the conversation.
To think that one would do this "TOP POSTING" on purpose (yes a few
have to make a point), is utter stupidity and in my opinion is a
complete waste of time
Whose time is wasted?
Feel free not to read postings in a NG, so no time is "wasted".
feel free not to respond if it wastes your time.
to natter about. Not to mention waste of
bandwidth and disk space. GROW UP LITTLE KIDS!!!
Get a life and forgive people that make a mistake once in a while!
Who is talking about mistakes?
Politely asking for not topposting is NOT pointing to mistakes, but is
simply trying to point to a good usenet habit, following the longtime
experience of usenet called netiquette.
Scarce interposting spares bandwith. Topposting wastes bandwith, as it
usually repeats the whole thread is an unlogivcal way, while scarce
interposting only repeats the parts one is reacting on.
Bottomposting is nearly or just as bad as topposting.
If you all think you are better than anyone else, then good luck to
you and your miserable life!!! JERKS!!!!
Politeness never hurts, or does it?
This is supposed to be an NG for help, not RIDICULE!!!
I don't know why you would suppose the first.
This is a NG for discussing on-topic subjects.
[Classic ASP and NG-netiquette being on-topic]
This NG is NOT a helpdesk.
That people are often helped by discussing
seems a logical consequence of discussions.
On a helpdesk you can specify the range of the answers to a Q[uestion].
In a NG you do not have to post only Qs, and if you post a Q,
you cannot limit the answers or reply postings.
I'm Ok with this, cause it was just a mistake, not a life threatening
issue!!!
What was a mistake? With scarce interposting I would know what part of
the thread you thought to be your or someone elses mistake.
Perhaps you were mistaken?
