Great thanks! Now there's one more thing I need. Is there a reference
table of the different values that could be returned? Unless I know exactly
what values could be returned, I won't be able to properly test to values to
determin what action to take. In other words, I need to know how to do a
comparison something like this:

If bc.Browser = "Netscape" then
If bc.version < 5 then
'redirect to bad old page
Else
'redirect to good new page
End if
End if

Thanks

Hi Moondaddy,

Based on my research, I haven't found a certain reference table which
listed all the potential value of the
HttpBrowserCapablilities.Browser member.

Here are some related tech article on this I've found:

#Browser Capabilities Component in ASP.NET
http://www.stardeveloper.com/article...1082501&page=1

#HOW TO: Determine Browser Type in Server-Side Code Without the BrowserType
Object in ASP.NET
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;306576

# ASP.NET Browser issues
http://www.fuzzysoftware.com/default...5&parentID=148
Also, I think you may have a look at the <browserCaps> setting reference in
MSDN which may provide some clues:

#<browserCaps> Element

Thanks.
